What is a Student Census?
The Student Census collects detailed information about students' demographics and experiences. In the 2021-2022 school year, the 91探花 School Board (91探花) conducted a student census for Grades 4-12 students. Parents or guardians completed the census for younger students (Kindergarten to Grade 3) and those with special needs who required assistance.

Why Conduct a Student Census?
Research has shown that systemic racism and discrimination exist in Ontario. To address these issues, the Ontario Anti-Racism Act, 2017, requires school boards to collect identity-based data on the following items:
  • Language(s) first spoken鈥嬧��
  • Sexual orientation鈥�
  • 鈥婭ndigenous language(s) first spoken鈥�
  • (顿颈蝉)补产颈濒颈迟测鈥�
  • 鈥婭ndigenous identity鈥�
  • Birth in Canada鈥�
  • 鈥婨迟丑苍颈肠颈迟测鈥�
  • Status in Canada鈥�
  • 鈥嬧赌婻补肠别
  • 鈥婽ime in Canada
  • 鈥婻eligious affiliation鈥�
  • 鈥婼ocio-economic status鈥�

Collecting data about these items helps identify and eliminate disparities and disproportionalities in student experiences and outcomes, and supports planning and resource allocation to meet diverse student needs.鈥�

Consent, Implementation, and Confidentiality
  • Consent: The census was voluntary. Parents and guardians received detailed information and had the option to opt out.

  • Confidentiality: All data collected is kept confidential and used solely to improve student outcomes without revealing personal identities. Detailed privacy measures are in place to protect student information.

Response Rates

  • Grades 4 - 12: Approximately 74% of students participated, with variations by grade level.
  • Kindergarten - Grade 3: About 17% participation, with parents/guardians completing the census.鈥嬧��

  • Demographics: Gender identity, language(s) spoken, Indigenous identity, ethnicity, race, religion, and differing abilities.
  • Experiences and Attitudes: Peer inclusion, school participation, emotional state, representation of equity-seeking groups, and experiences of exclusion or bullying.

Impact and Benefits
