Policies, Procedures, Protocols and Guidelines -

Ministerial Policies, Guidelines & Protocols (see link below) govern the Nova Scotia education system and the work of the South Shore Regional Centre for Education (SSRCE). SSRCE has updated its current policies that were developed by the former regional school board (SSRSB) to reflect the current situation in regard to roles, contacts and language.

SSRCE Policies marked with ** indicate that a policy is under review and could be rescinded, updated, or replaced with procedures, protocols or guidelines as the policies are reviewed. Changes to policies will be communicated to schools, School Advisory Councils, and on the SSRCE website.
