Policy 2
Appendix: Board Development Plan 2024-2025
Background:
The Lloydminster Public School Division operates with a Policy Governance Framework.
As part of the framework, the Board is committed to developing an annual plan to help
guide the Board’s development activities for the year. The Board Development Plan is
to be reviewed and renewed on an annual basis.
Purpose:
The primary purpose and benefit to developing a Board Development Plan is to align
Board development activities with the Board’s Strategic Plan and the Board Advocacy
Plan.
Process:
The Board of Education reviews the Board Development Plan during the August meeting
for approval at the September meeting of the Board. Feedback collected leads to an
annual renewal of the Board Development Plan based on priorities and needs. The
Board Development plan will be brought back for review by the Board during the January
meeting of the Board of Education.
Board Development Focus for 2024-2025:
For 2022-2023 the Board of Education has chosen to focus on the following three
priorities:
- To have trustees look for opportunities to develop their innate strengths and skills which support their function as trustees on the Board and committees of the Board.
- To have trustees model the LPSD Mission, Vision and Values.
- Host a Board/Admin Retreat to review and recommit to our Division Foundational Statements (Board Policy 1) and the roles & responsibilities trustees serve.
- Participate in Truth & Reconciliation learning for all trustees.
- To have the Board and Administration strategically choose to attend/participate in conferences or virtual sessions that promote or potentially enhance the long-term priorities of the Board.
