Strategic Planning
2023 - 2027 Strategic Plan Coming Soon! Our 2023 -2027 strategic plan was developed in partnership with a wide variety of rights-holders, in partnership with Tla’amin Nation. These groups include: parents, staff and teachers, community members and students. In May 2023, the Board launched a public survey which received over 500 responses, indicating priorities, visions and ambitions for the future. Focus groups and meetings were held with PRTDA, CUPE and other key partners, at schools and local meeting places.
In early 2019, our Board began working on a Strategic Plan to set the direction for the District during the Board's four year term. The plan was developed by completing an Environmental Scan and SWOT analysis, extensive discussion with Trustees and Senior Staff, and a full day strategic planning workshop involving the Board of Education and Senior District Leadership. The Board then hosted a facilitated forum involving community stakeholders and used the feedback from that event to inform the balance of its planning.
The District has chosen three key themes that will be given special focus over the next four years with implementation of each of these themes focused on specific goals and objectives:
