First of all, in our district we have not been collecting the data. However, we have a protocol for dealing with any incidents of hate. We have them at all levels of secondary and elementary. Our protocol is that the students are suspended for at least one day of school, and included in the suspension is a one-day learning piece where we provide resources to develop understanding for young people. We believe that we will never give up on young people, and we really make an effort to educate them.
In terms of a working definition, we use the 17 grounds of the Ontario human rights code as a way of coming at incidents of hate.
