A Message from Our Chair and the Director of Education - November 1, 2019
Dear Halton District School Board students, families, staff, and community members,
We are asking for your help in the creation of our next Multi-Year Plan!
The HDSB has a multi-year strategic plan (known as our Multi-Year Plan or MYP) that guides our collective actions and decision making as an organization to ensure we are always focused on providing a high standard of education for students.
We are currently in the last year of our
current MYP, and are starting the development of our next four-year plan which will take effect September 2020. This will include opportunities for
face-to-face input at two large community sessions as well as
online surveys designed specifically for students, staff, parents/guardians and community members. These consultations will take place during November and the data collected will be used in the development of the plan over the next three to four months.
We are asking for your help in sharing your views on our current plan and identifying areas we should focus on in the new plan.
The online surveys will be available on the Board website (www.hdsb.ca) from
Nov. 4 - Dec. 2, 2019.
Two
Community Roundtable Discussions will take place in the North and South areas of Halton on:
- Monday, Nov. 18, 2019 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Milton Staff Learning Centre
(215 Ontario St S, Milton) - Thursday, Nov. 21, 2019 from 7 - 9 p.m. at Garth Webb Secondary School
(2820 WestOaks Trails Blvd, Oakville)
We look forward to your participation in helping to shape the next four years in the Halton District School Board!
Sincerely,
Andrea Grebenc
Chair of the Board
Halton District School Board

What is the new Multi-Year Plan?
The Multi-Year Plan (MYP) is the roadmap that informs the Board’s decisions and allocation of resources, while guiding collective actions for ongoing improvement over the next four years. It sets the direction to ensure the Board’s efforts support all students, staff, and families across the Halton District School Board. View the
2016-2020 Multi Year Plan.
Why Does Your Input Matter?
The Multi-Year Plan is strengthened by the experience and input of students, staff, families and community members with lived experience of the HDSB. The feedback and insights shared through surveys, community roundtable discussions and other forums will inform how the Board updates and strengthens the current plan.
Your voice is critical to getting the plan right and setting the direction for the HDSB.
