School District 51 Wants Public’s Input On Future

Jan 19, 2016 | 9:51 AM

LETHBRIDGE:  Roughly 200 community representatives from around Lethbridge are expected to attend an annual Town Hall meeting on February 2nd, as the School District seeks information for the Board of Trustees.

Superintendent, Cheryl Gilmore, says it’s important for the district to learn how technology and diverse social contexts play a role in contemporary learning.

Feedback from the public will be gathered from the meeting and the district’s website. It’ll then be condensed into a statement that the board will take to their spring retreat, and later be released to the public.

The statement will become the district’s new vision and mission.

“One key question that will be put to the participants is, what will Lethbridge School District 51 look like when we have it right with meeting the needs of our students in a contemporary world?” Gilmore explained. “Then what do we need to be doing right now, and each and every day to achieve that vision.”
