The Campbell River School District Board of Education wants to hear from residents as it starts to develop the district’s next strategic plan.
The district is inviting parents, students, staff and interested community members to take part in an online survey between now and December 9 as part of its first stage in gathering feedback to inform the next strategic plan. The online survey is available through the district’s website at SD 72.
The strategic plan will serve as the district’s roadmap for the next four years. It is used to focus the board of education’s decision making, guide district management, and pull schools and district staff together to provide the best educational experiences for students.
Board Chair Kat Eddy says they want a greater understanding of the perspectives of the schools and broader communities, - adding it will be the main focus of the board for this school year.
The Board of Education and superintendent will consider the survey responses, along with student achievement data and feedback gathered over the course of the school year from middle and secondary school students, district staff, the district parent advisory council, Indigenous communities, business community, and other partners. The new strategic plan will be rolled out in September of 2023.
The school district’s last strategic plan was focused on three areas: improving student achievement, building a culture of learning and wellness, and honouring Indigenous worldviews and perspectives.
