York Region District School Board is re-visioning its Multi-Year Plan (MYP) and Board Improvement Plan

for Student Achievement and Well-being. The Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the strategic

direction of public education in York Region public schools. The MYP incorporates the direction estab-

lished by the Trustees with feedback received from all stakeholders, and will inform decision making at

the Board in the years to come. Town halls will be taking place across the region and feedback collected

from families and community members will inform the creation of a new MYP. Your voice is important

and your input and feedback will help York Region District School Board support student achievement

and well-being. There will also be other opportunities, including a survey available in April, to share your

thoughts if you are unable to attend a town hall.
