Our Story is Beyond Education
The Board Strategic Plan for 2025-2030 is the continuation of the previous ‘Beyond Education’ plan. For over a year, the District engaged with students, staff, parents, and community to reignite relationships and cast a spotlight on how we can meet the needs of all learners. The plan reflects the voices of the learning community and is innovative and forward thinking.
Throughout the regeneration process, students, staff and families identified a share commitment to building a bright future and ensuring our students grow into informed and engaged citizens.
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.
