Foundational Elements
Optimizing organizational effectiveness
A key understanding that emerged through the strategic planning process was a recognition that a number of underlying Foundational Elements serve as the building blocks for organizational effectiveness and efficacy in all areas.
We are committed to creating optimal conditions for success by focussing our efforts on enhancing these elements. By doing so, we facilitate success in each area of priority 鈥� Achieving, Believing and Belonging 鈥� which will ultimately improve student achievement and well-being.
Our Goals Under the Priority of Foundational Elements:
- Improved access to services and supports for students and schools.
- Communication is clear, transparent and responsive.
- Results-based accountability and evidence-informed decision-making are the standard approaches to planning and improvement efforts.
- Stewardship of resources optimizes human, financial, physical and material assets.
- Proactive recruitment, talent growth and succession planning are aligned to student and system needs.
The annual Strategic Plan Monitoring Survey found that:
of staff respondents agreed or strongly agreed that HCDSB staff have opportunities for professional development and training related to their role.
of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that communication from schools/the board office is clear, transparent, and responsive.
of staff respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the HCDSB uses evidence/data to inform decisions, strategies, or initiatives.

About the Director’s Annual Report
The Director’s Annual Report provides a snapshot of some of the great things happening across our school district. The real story of accomplishment, however, is captured daily within the walls of our schools and workplaces through the many individual successes that are celebrated by students, staff, and members of our Catholic learning communities.
