Diversified Learners Committee Forum: This is our new online workspace which contains our agendas and minutes plus an area for resources, past minutes, etc. This forum is visible to all school employees. http://www.ocsww.org/site/forumdisplay.php?f=73

Special Needs Forum: This was the forum set up last year for internal sharing of various guiding documents and individual learning plans within the committee. This is still a private forum but access has been given to all Diversified Learners Committee members. http://www.ocsww.org/site/forumdisplay.php?f=54
