The draft work products of the Goal Area Teams, which are helping to develop the Design II Strategic Plan for Vancouver Public Schools, are now available for staff and community review and comments through an online survey. The window for responding to the survey is October 17-25.

The draft documents are organized according to the four strategic priorities that emerged from staff and community input collected in March-May:

  • Knowledge, Creativity and Performance
  • Culture and Capacity
  • Time and Space
  • Relationships and Connections

Five online survey questions are available for you to offer suggestions. One question for each of the four strategic priorities asks you to comment on the vision, goals and target objectives. The fifth question asks for additional suggestions you may have beyond the responses provided to the other survey questions.

Choose one of the following options to review the draft documents and to complete the survey. For both options, you will need Adobe Reader to open the document as a pdf file. (Click here to download Adobe Reader.)
