The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) have launched their strategic plan for 2026-2030.
The plan highlights three of RCDSB’s “strategic priorities” which aims to instill successful development in their students.
The first of the priorities is the focus on Indigenous education; RCDSB wants to integrate Indigenous histories and perspectives across all subjects and to provide further support for Indigenous students.
The second is focused around foundational and future-ready skills; they vow to strengthen literacy and math and develop students’ digital, financial and career readiness.
Their final New Year’s resolution is to prioritize physical and mental health in schools to create an environment where all students and staff feel they belong.
These priorities were based on more than 50 consultations with over 2,600 survey responses which is the highest level of feedback in RCDSB’s history.
RCDSB chair, Leo Boland, said this plan is a “true reflection of the community’s voice,”
RCDSB provides public education to around 9,000 students in 21 elementary schools and seven secondary schools.
