Lakeland Catholic School District

Board Priorities – November 2009

Background

All school districts in the province are required by Alberta Education to develop a Three-Year Education Plan. Lakeland Catholic has substantially completed the implementation of its 2006 to 2009 Plan. As a result the District is initiating a comprehensive planning process to guide the decisions and set the direction for the School District for the next three years and beyond.

As part of the planning process, The Lakeland Catholic School District Board participated in a planning retreat in early November 2009 designed to get their initial input regarding strategic priorities to be included in the new Education Plan. Board members identified four major priority areas including:

Catholicity and Faith Development;

Prepare 21st Century Learners;

Positive District Public Profile; and

Organizational Capacity

For each priority area, specific key results that the Board would like to see achieved were developed. These are documented in this report under the appropriate headings.

Priorities and Key Results

Catholicity and Faith Development

Family, school and church will work as one to support the development of our faith community.

Our students will be active participants in their faith – i.e., a minimum increase of 10% annually for the next three years of Catholic students attending mass regularly.

The Bishop and Parish Priests will be actively engaged in our schools’ efforts to get young people to regularly attend mass.

Trustees, administration, teachers and staff will “walk the talk” and model Christ-centred values; and 100% will attend mass regularly.

Effective school programs and services that minister to the marginalized and disadvantaged will be in place.

A strong focus will be maintained on developing children to be the best they can be.

Effective religious educational resources and programming, including permeation of faith in all subject areas, will support students’ faith development.

Prepare 21st Century Learners

Students will be prepared for the realities of living and working in the 21st century.

Teachers and principals will embrace and apply evidenced-based innovative, creative, leading edge instructional practices and approaches to learning.

Technology will be leveraged to support effective teaching and learning, relevant to the 21st century learner.

Students and employees will develop the capacity to learn, unlearn and relearn, and become responsible and productive global citizens.

Parents will understand the need for and support the use of effective new and innovative approaches to prepare their children for the future.

Positive District Public Profile

The public will view our schools as great places to teach, learn and grow.

The mission, vision, goals and achievements of the Board and the District will be effectively communicated to our internal and external publics.

There will be increased visibility and connectivity of the Board with our school communities and other stakeholders.

Clear messages, supported by targeted communications strategies, will be established and used to focus communications with both internal and external stakeholders.

There will be high levels of parish and community support and engagement with schools as partners in the religious development and education of our children.

Staff will be effective ambassadors for the school system.

Organizational Capacity

The District will have the human, financial, physical and leadership resources in place to support the effective achievement of its vision, mission and goals.

Human Resources

An effective succession plan will be in place for mission critical positions.

Leadership development opportunities will build capacity as Catholic role models and educational leaders.

An adequate complement of appropriately qualified staff will be in place to achieve our vision and strategic goals.

Recruitment practices will include a broad search for high quality candidates.

Strong support for employee professional growth and development will be continued.

Financial Resources

Alternate funding sources will be identified and evaluated – sponsorship, foundations, etc.

A strong focus will be maintained on accessing any available special project funding.

Productive corporate partnerships will be developed to support programs and services.

The Board will continue efforts to lobby government for adequate funding for programs and services.

Funding support for successful established projects and initiatives will be sustained.

Facilities and Equipment

The Notre Dame High School will be upgraded or replaced.

The Holy Family Catholic School will be upgraded or replaced.

An effective Technology Ever-greening Plan will be developed and implemented.

Governance

A strong focus on trustee development will be maintained.

Strong committed Catholics will be encouraged to run for board office.
