Peace River School Division has received student results from the previous school year.
At its regular meeting Nov. 21, the board reviewed the 2023-24 Annual Education Results Report, says a PRSD news release Nov. 26.
Acting Supt. Jeff Thompson highlighted several positive points.
He reports, that in several areas, the division is making excellent progress in its efforts to eliminate the achievement gap between Indigenous students and non-Indigenous students.
He notes the division’s three education goals – that all students are literate, all students are numerate, and all students are successful through inclusionary practices.
Board chair Crystal Owens says the division and trustees are dedicated to building on the results and report.
“The board is committed to using the results of the report, to the best of its abilities, to improve outcomes for students and to ensure that all students in the jurisdiction can acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to be self-reliant, responsible, caring and contributing members of society,” Owens states in the report.
“The board is committed to ensuring strategic use of available resources to provide high-quality educational services to meet the needs of all students within the division.
