OCDSB Launches New Strategic Plan 2019-2023
Creating a Culture ... of Innovation, Caring and Social Responsibility
|
At the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, we want to ensure that our schools are welcoming places for all students to engage, belong, learn, grow, explore and discover. Our job is not simply to provide facts and figures, but to develop the characteristics and skills that will help our students find success in the world.
Recognizing that learning, well-being and equity are the core of our work, our 2019-2023 Strategic Plan is focused on building a culture that supports and engages students, staff, parents and community members. Read the full plan
