Administrative Procedure 100

THREE YEAR EDUCATION PLAN

Background

The Charter Board is committed to ensuring that we have created a strong, sustainable, and results-oriented education plan. This will ensure that all students have equitable opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to be self-reliant, responsible, caring, and contributing citizens. Planning ensures resources for education are used in the best possible ways to meet the educational needs of Alberta’s young people.
The Charter Board ‘s plan outlines priorities for student learning in the School, guides budget development, and forms the basis for reporting on progress and achievement. The Charter Board is required by Alberta Education to prepare an education plan that aligns with the Alberta Education’s Three Year Business Plan and focuses on student learning over a three year period. Plans are updated annually so that, as one year is completed and another is added, the Plan continues in a three year time frame.
