Multi-Year Strategic Plan Feedback Survey

Wed, 14 May 2025 16:40:12 GMT

Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) Feedback Survey

As per Ministry of Education requirements, we would like to hear feedback from parents/guardians, students, staff, and community partners about the 91̽��'s Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP).

91̽�� released its revised MYSP for 2023-2027.

The MYSP informs the direction of system operations and is fundamental to developing educational programs for students.

We would love to include your voice in our goals, action steps, and strategies associated with each of the MYSP values of Believe, Excel, Respect, Thrive, and Trust.

The survey will close on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

School Climate Survey

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 16:42:21 GMT

Catholic Community, Culture, and Caring School Climate Survey

The Education Act is the Ontario law that governs what school boards must do to educate and support students. This law directs school boards to use anonymous surveys to collect feedback from students, school staff, and parents and guardians about school climate. The Ministry of Education requires that this survey asks questions about peer inclusion, school supports and rules, feelings of safety, identity representation, exclusion, bullying, student response to bullying, and whether experiences of exclusion and/or bullying are related to identity and/or student personal characteristics. School boards must collect this information at least once every two years.

The Catholic Community, Culture, and Caring (CCCC) School Climate Survey is the survey that 91̽�� uses to collect the school climate information required by the Education Act. This survey has three versions: one for students, one for parents and guardians, and one for school staff. All three versions are voluntary and anonymous. That means that people can choose whether they answer the survey, and nobody will know who filled it out when staff look at the data.

The CCCC School Climate Survey asks students questions about their heritage and culture, gender, grade, learning needs, and, if they are in secondary school, their religion. It also asks them about: how much they feel they belong at school, their emotions and well-being, and how they are treated at school.

Please click the links below to see the preview of the 2024-2025 CCCC School Climate Survey for students and for parents and guardians.

2025-2026 Budget

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 04:00:00 GMT

The 91̽�� School Board (91̽��) has been operating under an approved Multi-Year Financial Recovery Plan (MYFRP) with the Ministry of Education since 2023, with related concerns and issues dating back to the 2020-2021 year. This continues to be a very difficult time for the 91̽�� community, in managing deficit budgets and a growing accumulated deficit position. 91̽�� continues to work with the Ministry of Education in addressing the employer-paid Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefit plan that is a significant unfunded expenditure. As we prepare for the upcoming budget year, 91̽�� will continue to operate under the MYFRP until a resolution is in place.

The Ministry of Education provides funding to school boards through the Core Education funding formula. Core Education information will be available on the Ministry of Education website as well as through the budget reports presented to the Board of Trustees. 91̽�� is committed to ensuring our stakeholders have access to information regarding the budget development process. Stakeholders are encouraged to review the 91̽�� Multi-Year Strategic Plan and 91̽�� Financial Statements.

91̽�� Student Census

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 21:26:38 GMT

What is a Student Census?
The Student Census collects detailed information about students' demographics and experiences. In the 2021-2022 school year, the 91̽�� School Board (91̽��) conducted a student census for Grades 4-12 students. Parents or guardians completed the census for younger students (Kindergarten to Grade 3) and those with special needs who required assistance.

Why Conduct a Student Census?
Research has shown that systemic racism and discrimination exist in Ontario. To address these issues, the Ontario Anti-Racism Act, 2017, requires school boards to collect identity-based data on the following items:

Language(s) first spoken	Sexual orientation
Indigenous language(s) first spoken	(Dis)ability
Indigenous identity	Birth in Canada
Ethnicity	Status in Canada
Race	Time in Canada
Religious affiliation	Socio-economic status

Collecting data about these items helps identify and eliminate disparities and disproportionalities in student experiences and outcomes, and supports planning and resource allocation to meet diverse student needs.

Consent, Implementation, and Confidentiality

Consent: The census was voluntary. Parents and guardians received detailed information and had the option to opt out.
Implementation: Students received personalized links to the online census via their school email accounts. The census collected names, student numbers, and school locations to link responses to individual students’ achievement, program access, and discipline information.
Confidentiality: All data collected is kept confidential and used solely to improve student outcomes without revealing personal identities. Detailed privacy measures are in place to protect student information.

Response Rates

Grades 4 - 12: Approximately 74% of students participated, with variations by grade level.
Kindergarten - Grade 3: About 17% participation, with parents/guardians completing the census.

Types of Questions
The census included mandatory questions about:

Demographics: Gender identity, language(s) spoken, Indigenous identity, ethnicity, race, religion, and differing abilities.
Experiences and Attitudes: Peer inclusion, school participation, emotional state, representation of equity-seeking groups, and experiences of exclusion or bullying.

Impact and Benefits
By collecting and analyzing this data, 91̽�� aims to:

Identify Issues: Spot and address systemic racism and discrimination within the school system.
Improve Outcomes: Develop targeted strategies to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
Ensure Equity: Uphold Catholic social teachings by promoting human dignity, solidarity, community living, and rights and responsibilities.
Support Students: Ensure that all students feel valued, supported, and treated with kindness and fairness, reflecting the teachings of Christ.

Results and Analysis
91̽�� Student Census - Technical Report: A detailed and comprehensive analysis of the census process and findings.

Summary of Student Outcomes: Racial disproportionalities and disparities observed for students in Grades 4 through 12.

Descriptive Tables - Racial Outcomes: a companion report to the summary report of student outcomes. Information in this report includes numeric outcomes for each racial group, based on census responses from students in Grades 4 through 12 who completed the census themselves.

Summary of Student Social Identities: Social identities reported by students in Grades 4 through 12.

Summary of Student Attitudes: Attitudinal findings observed for students in Grades 4 through 12.

Summary of Parent/Guardian-Reported Student Social Identities: Social identities reported by parents and guardians for their students in Kindergarten - Grade 3 and older students who required parent/guardian support to complete the census.

Descriptive Tables – Parent/Guardian Reported Racial Outcomes: Information in this report includes numeric outcomes for each racial group based on census responses from parents/guardians of students in Kindergarten through Grade 3 and older students who required their parents/guardians to complete the census on their behalf.
