Policy 2
Appendix: Board Development Plan 2021-2022
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 2022-2023:
For 2022-2023 the Board of Education has chosen to focus on the following three
priorities:
1. 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.
2. To have trustees embrace what it means for LPSD to become a school division
that embraces Diversity, Equity and Inclusive practices:
a. Host a Board/Admin Retreat to explore the above terms and action a plan
to develop a policy based on these foundational principles.
3. 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.
