What’s important to students, families and staff in Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Halton Hills is what the Halton school board wants to know.

Stakeholders are being asked to share their thoughts and identify potential priorities for the Board’s 2024-2028 Multi-Year Plan.

“As we move through this process, we are guided by our curiosity and drive to build connections,” said Amy Collard, chair of the Board. “Your voice is critical to getting this plan right and setting the direction for the next four years. Collectively, we have the opportunity to give students the best opportunities for success as they embark on their future.”

The Multi-Year Plan (MYP) is the roadmap that guides the Board in creating the conditions for students and staff to thrive. It informs the Board’s decisions and allocation of resources while guiding staff’s collective actions for ongoing improvement over the next four years. View the current 2020-2024 MYP.

Parents, guardians, staff, students and community members are invited to share their thoughts and identify areas of focus by registering to attend one of the upcoming Town Halls.

Town Halls will be held from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the following areas:

  • Burlington – Monday, May 6 at Nelson High School, 4181 New St., Burlington
  • Oakville – Tuesday, May 7 at White Oaks Secondary School, 1330 Montclair Dr., Oakville

  • Halton Hills – Tuesday, May 14 at Georgetown District High School, 70 Guelph St., Georgetown
  • Virtual – Tuesday, May 28

“We are committed to providing students the best opportunities for success in their future,” said Curtis Ennis, director of Education. “These sessions provide an opportunity to come together, and consider the potential for our collective future in the HDSB, and build an even stronger HDSB community as we focus on planning for the future together.”

All parents, guardians, students, staff and community members will also have the opportunity to provide input through an online questionnaire that will be shared in the coming weeks.
