The Vancouver School Board is set to vote later today on a motion from Trustee Jennifer Reddy called "Responding to Hate-Motivated Crimes.'

It includes a proposal that the school board hire a field expert to establish a policy that outlines structured responses to hate-motivated crimes.  It also includes calls for a process of restorative justice, accountability and restitution for affected students, staff, and students who perpetrate hate.

The anti-racism organization BC Community Alliance says it's crucial the motion passes now, to ensure that changes benefit racialized students for the next school year.
