The Strategic Plan planning process included a comprehensive environmental scan, fulsome consultation with the OCDSB community, and collaborative discussions among the Board of Trustees and senior team.
Between November 2022 and March 2023, we engaged the community through multiple consultation pathways in order to set the direction and develop objectives for a 2023-2027 Strategic Plan that is meaningful to our students, staff and families. This feedback informed the draft strategic plan, which was then shared with the OCDSB community for additional feedback. The response received guided the refinement of the draft plan to make it clear, accessible and reflective of the needs of the community.
The plan was approved by the Board of Trustees at Committee of the Whole on June 13, 2023. The final approval was received at the Board Meeting on June 26, 2023.
The key areas of focus identified are: Learning; Well-Being; and Social Responsibility. These three pillars reflect the requests we heard to put learning at the forefront of the strategic plan; to support student and staff wellness, especially as we address needs that emerged during the pandemic; and to acknowledge our collective responsibilities to society and the environment. A focus on equity and inclusion is embedded throughout the plan, and captured within each area of focus.
