Strategic Planning

Every four years, with the election of a new Board of Trustees, the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ District School Board undertakes a process to develop a new strategic plan for the organization. 

To ensure that the new strategic plan sets the vision for a strong and sustainable future and responds to the needs of those we serve, from March through June 2023, we consulted and engaged with students, staff, families, partners and community members across all regions of our school district. Through this collaboration, we asked important questions and listened openly. 

In addition to the voices of those we serve, planning for Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ’s future requires reflection on, and prioritization of, Board priorities and Ministry directives, within the context of organizational capacity and available resources. Trustees and Senior Administration intently deliberated on this information and participated in several visioning sessions to identify the priorities of the 2023–26 Strategic Plan.

Please take a moment to watch  from Chairperson Jaine Klassen Jeninga and Director of Education Rita Russo introducing the Strategic Plan.
