Nov. 6, 2024 - At the Nov. 5, 2024 Board meeting, Trustees of the Halton District School Board approved the 2024-2028 Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) to set direction and prioritize the collective actions of all students, staff, families and community members over the next four years. Serving as a roadmap, this plan will inform the Board’s decisions and allocation of resources to create an environment where students and staff thrive.
Thorough public consultation that began in spring and continued into fall played a critical role in developing the 2024-2028 MYSP, as the input received provided further insight into the interests of the broader HDSB community. Trustees and staff collaborated closely throughout the development process to ensure the plan reflects the shared priorities voiced by the HDSB community.
The 2024-2028 MYSP builds on the achievements of the 2020-2024 plan and adds a sixth commitment to emphasize the growing importance of kindness, connection and community within our schools and organization. This new commitment reflects the Board’s dedication to creating inclusive and welcoming learning environments where all students and staff feel a sense of belonging. The six commitments outlined in the plan are:
Learning, Engagement and Achievement
Kindness, Connection and Community
Indigenous Rights and Education
Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion
Mental Health and Well-Being
Environmental and Global Citizenship
Further information to engage and inform the community about each commitment will be shared as the 2024-2028 MYSP is rolled out.
