Red Deer Public launches community engagement

Jan 18, 2023 | 1:41 PM

Over the past couple of years, Red Deer Public Schools says it has asked the community what makes the Division the best choice for families.

This year, district officials say they want to engage with the community around the Division’s priorities and day to day experiences for students.

As a result, Red Deer Public Schools has now launched its community engagement through to the beginning of February. Officials say the Board of Trustees will review what the community has said during the engagement process at the end of February at their two-day Board conference.

“The Division’s priorities currently include Literacy and Numeracy, Equity and Student Success and Completion. These have been Red Deer Public’s priorities since 2012,” said Nicole Buchanan, Board Chair. “There are strong links between these priority areas. These are not standalone priorities, each of these areas overlap in meeting the needs of all students.”

“Our priorities are the foundation of all we do at Red Deer Public, but the highest priority for Red Deer Public is the success of every child in school,” added Buchanan.

Officials say Red Deer Public’s Education Plan responds to local priorities and aspirations as well as those of Alberta Education.

“As we move into our community engagement we want to ensure our planning is focused on key priorities, and those key priorities may have changed,” said Buchanan. “We will continue to focus on these key areas, but we want to know if our community feels there are other priorities Red Deer Public should work towards.”
