Our Story is Beyond Education
‘Beyond Education’, the Board’s Strategic Plan for 2020-2024, is the culmination of months of work in which the District explored and engaged with students, staff, parents, and community. The plan built on the transformational work that has happened within the district, and now supports the District’s future-focused priorities.
This Strategic Plan was developed through the most comprehensive, future-focused, engagement exercise the District has ever undertaken. Our learners, staff, parents, and community shared their vision for the future and then told us what skills and attitudes would be needed to get there. Finally, they shared how as a community, we could help make that future become a reality.
On behalf of over 1200 employees and our 23 unique school communities, we invite you to be an active part of our community and help prepare our learners for a world they will create.
Strategic Operations Plan
We have added our detailed goals and measurements to Beyond Education, our Strategic Plan 2020-2024. Have a look at our current and proposed actions for this plan.
