Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board approve the Operational Plan strategies

Background
Ontario’s school boards are required by legislation to develop and have in place a multi-year plan for three or
more years. According to Section 169.1 of the Ontario Education Act, multi-year plans must be aimed at
achieving the following goals:
promoting student achievement and well-being;
ensuring effective stewardship of the board’s resources; and
delivering effective and appropriate education programs to its pupils.
The plan must cover three or more years with annual reviews of progress and opportunities to update the plan.
In December 2011, the Halton District School Board approved its Mission Statement and Values for the years
2012-16, and in January 2012 authorized the development of a Multi-Year Plan.
In the subsequent months, trustees worked in conjunction with members of the Senior Administrative team to
undertake extensive discussions resulting in the Halton District School Board 2012-16 Multi-Year Plan. This
plan contained Strategic Goals accompanied by Targets and Strategies to support achievement of these goals. The
Multi-Year Plan as well as the 2012-2013 operational plan was approved by the Board on May 15, 2012.
Respectfully submitted,
