With multiple bus cancellations, icy playground conditions, and extreme windchills, it is important that our students come dressed for the weather. During our school day, we will go outside for extended periods, even when it is very cold. In temperatures above -23 with the wind chill, we will play outside so ensuring your children are dressed for the weather appropriately is essential. We encourage all families to send appropriate outdoor play clothing (boots, snowpants, hats, mitts, warm jackets, extra socks) that are labelled with your child's name. If you are in need of any warm clothing for your children, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are looking forward to Bell Let's Talk day and Literacy Spirit week to celebrate National Literacy Day on January 27th. More information on Literacy week is below. Also, a reminder that we will have a PA day on January 30th. On this day, our educators will be preparing for Term 1 report cards, which will go home on February 13. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Yours in Education,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Jennifer Osborne, Principal</span></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><br></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><img src="/images/6ccdf019-6aa0-40c7-8131-e1ba59fd621b" alt="bus" width="262" height="168" style="width:262px;height:168px;display:inline-block;float:left"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Bus Delays and Cancellations</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As the weather gets colder, please be aware that buses may be delayed or cancelled. Families should ensure they are signed up to receive direct notifications, either by email, or Tri-Board’s app. Delays and cancellations are also posted to Tri-Board’s Website. Please have a back-up plan and transportation home if your child's bus is cancelled! A reminder that supervision of students is not available until 8:45 am. Please do not drop off your child at school before that time. We follow our regular school day when the buses are cancelled so please send your child dressed for the weather.</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span

Families can help reinforce these messages when students are playing both before and after school. Please take some time to review the guidelines below with your child and reinforce a positive, safe recess play:</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Snow stays on the ground</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, no throwing or kicking of snow at others</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Hands off</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> - it is even more essential in slippery conditions that students are in control of their own bodies. Pushing or shoving others can put them at great risk for injury as they are not able to brace their fall when they are not prepared for the loss of balance. When pushing or shoving occurs staff will often shut down a snow hill.</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Be respectful of the creations of others</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. While there is no ownership of snow, it is not polite or caring to purposely destroy the work of others, or steal snow. The fields have an abundance of snow available, taking other's snow is not necessary.</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">No snow forts on top of the hills or tunnels at the bottom </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">- this creates unsafe situations with access to forts and the use of the hill for all. Digging tunnels at the bottom of the hill is not permitted.</span></li><li value="5" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It is inevitable that snow structures will not stand the test of time for various reasons.

If you are in need of any warm clothing for your children, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are looking forward to Bell Let's Talk day and Literacy Spirit week to celebrate National Literacy Day on January 27th.

Families can help reinforce these messages when students are playing both before and after school. Please take some time to review the guidelines below with your child and reinforce a positive, safe recess play:</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Snow stays on the ground</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, no throwing or kicking of snow at others</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Hands off</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> - it is even more essential in slippery conditions that students are in control of their own bodies. Pushing or shoving others can put them at great risk for injury as they are not able to brace their fall when they are not prepared for the loss of balance. When pushing or shoving occurs staff will often shut down a snow hill.</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Be respectful of the creations of others</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. While there is no ownership of snow, it is not polite or caring to purposely destroy the work of others, or steal snow. The fields have an abundance of snow available, taking other's snow is not necessary.</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">No snow forts on top of the hills or tunnels at the bottom </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">- this creates unsafe situations with access to forts and the use of the hill for all. Digging tunnels at the bottom of the hill is not permitted.</span></li><li value="5" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It is inevitable that snow structures will not stand the test of time for various reasons. Role-playing or </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">talking through the potential emotions and reactions</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> to this may be helpful for your child. We often remind students that part of the fun of snow is to rebuild something new or add on to make structures even better the next time.</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Curriculum Focus: Parent Engagement in Math and Literacy</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ministry and Board Resources for Math and Literacy</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">There are many resources available designed to support your student’s learning in math and literacy, offering engaging activities that can make learning fun and effective for students and families. </span><a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.limestone.on.ca%2Ftutoring&data=05%7C02%7Cvanderschot%40limestone.on.ca%7C892fa2f3eb9741a1fb8b08de17eb71d4%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C638974497276489865%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=pqg%2BbGBc0b0EPoIYUHlV72cho4Q7tYgHOJbA7MYXHp8%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Original URL: https://www.limestone.on.ca/tutoring.

Our students are busy with learning and extra-curricular activities happening at school. Junior and Senior Volleyball teams practiced their skills on the court in preparation for their tournaments throughout November and Floor Hockey intramurals have begun over the lunch recess. Many classrooms have welcomed engaging Science and STEM opportunities over the last few weeks also. Thanks to all of our coaches and staff who prepare for these extra events for our students.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Our students enjoyed the first Festive Friday of the month with a Jingle Bell walk/run and some holiday shopping. A very BIG thank you to our SAC volunteers for running the ELF shop and for providing hot chocolate and treats for our students after a chilly walk outdoors. We also welcomed the NDSS Concert band (and some former CPS students) to our school last week to share some Holiday music! These events continue to build community within our school and provide lasting school memories for our students. We are looking forward to welcoming families to our Holiday BINGO open house night on Thursday December 11th. Details are below. We have also re-scheduled a presentation by Kyoko Ogoda Taiko Drumming on December 16th, weather permitting. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The month of December usually come with its own set of emotions with the joy and anticipation of a holiday with family and friends. Enjoy this upcoming winter break and allow yourself and your family to truly break, experience rest, recognize and accept emotions and find joy in the big and small moments we share. Thank you, Centreville PS families, for all of your support of our staff and your children over these last few months.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Wishing you a magical month ahead and a very Happy Holiday break when it arrives!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Yours in Education,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Jennifer Osborne, Principal</span></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><br></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><img src="/images/6ccdf019-6aa0-40c7-8131-e1ba59fd621b" alt="bus" width="262" height="168" style="width:262px;height:168px;display:inline-block;float:left"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Bus Delays and Cancellations</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As the weather gets colder, please be aware that buses may be delayed or cancelled.

Families can help reinforce these messages when students are playing both before and after school. Please take some time to review the guidelines below with your child and reinforce a positive, safe recess play:</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Snow stays on the ground</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, no throwing or kicking of snow at others</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Hands off</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> - it is even more essential in slippery conditions that students are in control of their own bodies. Pushing or shoving others can put them at great risk for injury as they are not able to brace their fall when they are not prepared for the loss of balance. When pushing or shoving occurs staff will often shut down a snow hill.</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Be respectful of the creations of others</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. While there is no ownership of snow, it is not polite or caring to purposely destroy the work of others, or steal snow. The fields have an abundance of snow available, taking other's snow is not necessary.</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">No snow forts on top of the hills or tunnels at the bottom </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">- this creates unsafe situations with access to forts and the use of the hill for all. Digging tunnels at the bottom of the hill is not permitted.</span></li><li value="5" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It is inevitable that snow structures will not stand the test of time for various reasons. Role-playing or </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">talking through the potential emotions and reactions</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> to this may be helpful for your child. We often remind students that part of the fun of snow is to rebuild something new or add on to make structures even better the next time.</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Curriculum Focus: Parent Engagement in Math and Literacy</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ministry and Board Resources for Math and Literacy</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">There are many resources available designed to support your student’s learning in math and literacy, offering engaging activities that can make learning fun and effective for students and families. </span><a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.limestone.on.ca%2Ftutoring&data=05%7C02%7Cvanderschot%40limestone.on.ca%7C892fa2f3eb9741a1fb8b08de17eb71d4%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C638974497276489865%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=pqg%2BbGBc0b0EPoIYUHlV72cho4Q7tYgHOJbA7MYXHp8%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Original URL: https://www.limestone.on.ca/tutoring.

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Families,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As January comes to a close, I want to acknowledge the dedication students and staff have demonstrated as we begin the new year. We have certainly faced challenging weather as winter has thrown the kitchen sink and dirty dishes at us this year, and it is not even the end of January! This has resulted in an inordinate number of inclement weather days this year. Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering safe, caring, and inclusive learning environments across Limestone.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I have a few updates for you:</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Inclement Weather and Bus Cancellations</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This year we have experienced an inordinate number of bus cancellations. To date LDSB has had around 10 school days disrupted due to bus cancellations, and one day where most schools were closed. Tri-Board Student Transportation Services works closely with people on the ground across the district to assess road and weather conditions, and consults with local meteorologists for up-to-date, local weather forecasts whenever winter weather occurs and/or is expected. Because school buses handle differently than personal vehicles, there are times when roads may seem safe for cars but are not suitable for buses.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Given the size of the district, weather can vary significantly from one region to another, which means cancellations may be necessary in some areas while others continue to operate. We recognize there have been several inclement weather days since returning from the winter break and understand that transportation cancellations can be very challenging for families; however, the safety of the more than 30,000 students who rely on bus transportation each day remains Tri-Board’s highest priority. To learn more about how inclement weather decisions are made, here is a link to a recent, </span><a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/11638005/decision-to-cancel-school-buses/" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">local media story</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For tips on preparing for winter weather and managing bus cancellation days, please visit Limestone’s </span><a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/news/prepare-for-winter-related-bus-delays-and-cancellations--20251020203640" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Prepare for Winter-Related Bus Delays and Cancellations webpage</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Inclement Weather and Continuity of Learning</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The number of inclement weather days have resulted in significant disruption to learning for students, particularly in January. On these days, staff are expected to provide some continuity of learning to support students unable to attend school when buses are cancelled. Educators may share asynchronous learning through previously established means through board approved tools or e-mail. For those students who can attend on inclement weather days, educators will continue to provide programming and support learning with smaller group and/or more individualized learning. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">School Year Calendar 2026-2027 Survey</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is developing the 2026-2027 school year calendar. Together with our coterminous boards, the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, we have created four calendar options and are seeking community input to help inform the final decision.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey, open until </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">February 9 at 12:00 p.m. (noon).</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Survey link:</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><a href="https://bit.ly/20262027SchoolYearCalendar" class="editor-link"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">bit.ly/20262027SchoolYearCalendar</strong></b></a></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If families prefer a paper version, please contact your school to request a hard copy.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Black History Month Opening Ceremony – Wednesday, February 4, 2026</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">All Limestone students, families, and community members are invited to attend the LDSB Black History Month Opening Ceremony on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at LCVI (153 Van Order Drive, Kingston). The ceremony will celebrate community and connection with food, music, and dancing, featuring a Kids Zone with “Ruthy’s Reading Room”, and a performance by Cassel Miles as Josiah Henson.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Kindergarten Registration and Out of Boundary Registration </strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you have a child ready to start Kindergarten this September?

Please note only one application per student can be processed; please do not submit more than one application for multiple school locations. If multiple applications are submitted, families will be contacted to select which school application they would like processed, and all other applications will be removed from the system.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The board is not responsible for the provision of any transportation for students outside of their regular school boundary area. This applies to both students within Limestone’s geographic boundaries (out of boundary), and students who live outside of those boundaries (out of district). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To find the name and location of your in-boundary or home school(s), enter the student’s home address into </span><a href="https://triboard.mybusplanner.ca/Eligibility.aspx" target="_blank" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tri-Board's Locate A School tool.</span></a></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">EQAO Results</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Ministry of Education released the 2024-2025 Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) results in December, and as shared previously, we are pleased to share that Limestone has achieved its strongest performance in four years, with gains across every testing category.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Limestone’s results are consistent with provincial trends in many areas and show meaningful improvement in others, including among specific student groups. In fact, Limestone is performing at or above the provincial average in nearly all measures.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">These results reflect the collective efforts of Limestone educators, Educational Assistants, program teams, and school leaders—supported by the ongoing commitment of students and families across our district. We are extremely proud of the dedication and hard work that contributed to these achievements.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">More information will be shared with families soon, including a deeper dive and discussion into the EQAO results and Student Achievement Plan (SAP).</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ministry Resources for Reading and Math</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">There are many resources available to support your student’s learning in math and literacy, offering engaging activities that make learning both fun and effective for students and families.

Gold medalists from Limestone may be invited to represent LDSB at the Ontario Skills Competition, where top students from across the province demonstrate their expertise across a wide range of skilled trades and technological fields.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Skills Ontario Competition is a remarkable platform—students showcase their talent and determination over three days, inspiring educators, families, friends, and even future employers. Medalists have the opportunity to advance to the Skills Canada National Competition, and from there, potentially on to the WorldSkills Competition, which represents the highest level of international achievement. I am looking forward to this year’s Limestone Skills events and the opportunity to celebrate the many talented students from both elementary and secondary schools who will participate. Trustees are welcome to attend the Limestone Skills competition taking place at St. Lawrence College at the end of February if they would like to see Limestone skills in action!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, I am pleased to share that Kindergarten registration is open across Limestone. Our board remains committed to supporting strong foundations in early learning, with a clear focus on student achievement and well being. Families also benefit from a range of school options and programming choices that help ensure every child begins their educational journey in an environment where they feel supported, included, and excited to learn.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As we begin this new year together, I want to thank our educators, staff, students, and families for everything they contribute to making Limestone a vibrant, caring, and engaging place to learn.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This concludes my report.</span></p></div></details><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Director's Report</span></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Good evening Trustees and the viewing public. While it is already the middle of January, and the holiday season seems like a distant memory, Happy New Year to everyone.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The New Year always is a time of reflection, both thinking about the year behind, and the year ahead. In education, there is always more work to do, and as a board we continue to have significant work ahead. The stakes of our work are incredibly high when we consider the future of every student we serve. Annual EQAO results, summaries of Human Rights Complaints, Student Census data we collected in the fall, and the myriad of work we do to serve Limestone’s communities are all a good reminder of the critical work we do for young people and families in local communities. As we continue forward with our Strategic Plan, it will be important for us to remember for whom this work matters, and emphasizing the need for all staff to make a positive difference in the lives of the students we serve. This means continuing to strive for improvement in student learning, achievement, and well-being. It also means we must continue to do what we can in making sure there is a positive culture in Limestone for the benefit of all students, families, and staff. Our work matters and makes a difference. It is always important to keep this perspective and focus when so much uncertainty lies in front of us in 2026. To name just a few: the next round of bargaining with labour partners, the Ontario School Board governance model and potential changes, and continuing School Board budget pressures, let alone larger geo-political changes we see occurring on a weekly, if not daily, basis.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">While it is only January, preliminary preparations are already underway for the 2026-2027 school year. Choices program information has been shared with the community, and students will be engaging in those processes. In addition, either in December, last week, or in the very near future, secondary schools are engaging with Grade 8 students and families to provide information to further support the transition to secondary school in the fall. More senior secondary students will be considering expanded opportunities available for the fall, and the Kindergarten registration process for the youngest Limestone learners will also begin. Trustees may already have seen some of the new advertising for Limestone that we shared in December and is now on public display. This time of year also means secondary summative assessments and exams start in about a week, and report cards for students K-12 are just around the corner in February.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This evening, Trustees, the agenda contains several updates: the Multi-Year Capital and School Renewal project plan, the revised estimates for quarter 1 of the 2025-2026 school year, the wrap up of the Strategic Plan End of Year Report for 2024-2025, and an update on the Math Achievement Action Plan. Thank you to all of you around this table for supporting the important work we do for the communities we serve.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">That concludes my update for this evening. Thank you Chair McGregor.</span></p></div></details><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Reports</span></h3><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">OPBSA Report</span></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Chair McGregor shared that next week some of the Trustees will be attending the OPSBA Public Education Symposium. A special meeting will also take place on March 14, 2026, for the membership to vote on a new governance model. Several models have been proposed, including shifting from board‑by‑board representation to regional representation, or having regional chairs and vice‑chairs serve alongside the executive. Concerns have been raised about how boards like Limestone would be represented under these models and how communication and feedback would flow. Another option would keep one representative per board but without voting privileges, acting instead as liaisons to the regional groups. These proposals will be discussed in breakout groups at the symposium before the final vote.</span></p></div></details><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Student Trustees' Report</span></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Student Trustee Comeau stated: “The Inter school Council (ISC) January 6 meeting was chaired by Rachel and Siham, it started with a presentation to teach school representatives how to write personalised Land Acknowledgements. This presentation was given by Liv Rondeau. She taught that Land Acknowledgements should be used to inform about the history of the land and Indigenous peoples who inhabit the land. She taught Land Acknowledgments should be used to form an attachment to the land. This presentation was important because if land acknowledgments are not unique and personal, they can feel routine and mandatory. Instead of being used for their purpose, being to teach and reflect on our active roles in the process of Truth and Reconciliation.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This presentation has influenced a new tradition in ISC where student representatives from different schools will take on the Land Acknowledgement at the beginning of the meeting, with one they have made. The first school attempting this for the February meeting is Frontenac Secondary School. Then Rachel and Siham discussed something that they had learned at the Fall General Meeting conference, which was the use of a polling website “Mentimeter.” This website was used to ask student Trustees questions aimed at student well being within their boards. This was brought up as we plan to host polls asking similar questions to our inter school Council members, to get more board specific information about student well being. This will allow us to focus on fixing specific problems and concerns within the new year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Student Trustee elections were brought up as a reminder to advertise towards applicants within schools, as the elections will take place in the February meeting.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We took up the effectiveness of winter holiday activities, which all schools had positive information to contribute upon. Some examples being: Frontenac Secondary School’s chili fest which raised $500 for the United Way. Bayridge Secondary School’s teddy bear campaign which raised $1000 and was donated to a hospital for a new ultrasound machine. LaSalle Secondary School which held a semi-formal and raised money for the children's hospital. Schools in Limestone also held many pancake breakfasts and spirit weeks. Then Andrea Barrow gave members a reminder to advertise upcoming events in Limestone during February for Black History Month, like the annual LDSB Opening Ceremony.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, our meeting ended with a presentation from Superintendent Stephanie Sartor and Ms. Allison Grange. Associate Superintendent Sartor contacted ISC as she is looking to interview students in schools, to bring student input from Limestone to an upcoming professional development conference in March, on being leaders as agents of change. Ms. Grange joined Superintendent Sartor to get into contact with ISC as she is looking to interview students in schools about why they love Limestone DSB and provide positive reflections on their own learning and experiences, so that everyone can see themselves in Limestone. This also ties into the communications team advertisement plan for 2026.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Student representatives will be relaying this information back to their schools and provide names for interview candidates. This concludes the January Student Trustee report.</span></p></div></details><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Reports for Action</span></h3><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Multi-Year Capital and School Renewal Project Plan</strong></b></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Superintendent Young introduced Manager of Facility Services Dave Fowler and Assistant Manager of Facility Services Charlyn Downie to make their presentation. Manager Fowler noted that this report is presented each year, with consistent foundational information but with increasing detail for the upcoming year based on known funding. The plan, originally introduced in the 2011–12 school year, aligns its project categories with the Ministry’s asset reporting structure and outlines proposed activities across systems such as HVAC, electrical, structural, communication/IT, site improvements, accessibility, lighting, interior renovations, plumbing, and building envelope.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Manager Fowler reported that the 2025–26 capital project budget totals $21.1 million. This includes $4.3 million in school renewal funding and $16.75 million in School Condition Improvement (SCI) funding. Capital projects must meet a minimum threshold of $10,000 and are intended to extend lifecycle and improve building systems. The plan categorizes projects according to Ministry-defined systems, and the board must allocate at least 70% of funding to structure, mechanical, and building envelope work, limiting the percentage available for site and interior upgrades.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Assistant Manager Downie explained that the report included in the agenda package contains detailed information about school renewal and capital projects organized by school site, with the full list available in the appendix. She reiterated that updating the Multi‑Year Capital Plan and School Renewal Project Plan is an annual requirement, forming a key part of the board’s broader asset management program. This program ensures that all projects are managed consistently from the initial planning phase through to completion, using Ministry‑aligned categories and system data to guide decisions.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Assistant Manager Downie emphasized that the projects listed in the appendix are not limited to summer construction activities. Instead, the list represents planned work across short, medium, and long‑term timelines, supported by funding streams specifically designated for capital renewal, School Renewal funding and School Condition Index (SCI) funding. For the upcoming year, the board has access to $16.7 million in SCI funding and an additional $4 million through school renewal allocations.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Ministry of Education reviews the condition of all schools, and the board maintains an internal database that tracks the age and condition of each system. This information forms the foundation of the capital plan, with occupant safety and the prevention of system failures serving as key priorities. School input also plays a critical role as principals work collaboratively with planning staff to identify programming needs and building improvements for their individual school communities, ensuring that facility planning is responsive to local educational priorities.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Planning work is aligned with the Ministry’s system categories, which the board is required to use in its reporting. However, the board must follow funding restrictions that require at least 70% of capital expenditures to be dedicated to structural, building envelope, and mechanical systems. As a result, projects related to school sites and interior upgrades are limited in scope and scale. This distribution is reflected in the list of proposed projects for the 2025–26 year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking ahead, planners provide long‑term projections for school renewal funding only, as SCI funding is announced annually and cannot be predicted reliably for future years. This annual SCI allocation is essential to the board’s capital work because it is based on the age and condition of buildings. With the average school within the district being 55 years old, many systems are reaching the end of their lifecycle, which increases the board’s dependence on yearly funding announcements to maintain safe and functional facilities.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Assistant Manager Downie concluded her presentation by referring Trustees to Appendix A of the report which contains the full listing of capital and renewal projects proposed for the year. The following motion was brought forward:</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">MOTION MOVED by Trustee Ruttan and seconded by Trustee Morning that the Board approve the Multi-Year Capital and School Renewal Project Plan; and that a revised copy of the 10-Year Capital and School Renewal Project Plan be posted on the board’s website. Carried.</em></i></p></div></details><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Reports for Information </span></h3><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2025-2026 Revised Estimates and Interim Financial Report for Q1</strong></b></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Superintendent Young called upon Manager Paula Carson to share the report on the 2025-2026 revised estimates and interim financial operating expenditures for Quarter 1 for the period ending November 30, 2025. She noted that the projected Average Daily Enrolment (ADE) for the 2025-2026 school year is the basis on which most Ministry grants are calculated and is based upon the average of enrolment at two established counts (October 31 and March 31) in the school year. Overall enrolment is expected to be 88 ADE lower in the 2025-26 school year than originally forecasted in the budget with the elementary panel decreasing by 21 students, and the secondary panel decreasing by 67 students.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Manager Carson advised that the Operating Budget Revenue reflects a $3.2 million reduction in Core Education Funding Operating Allocation. $2.1 million is due to lower enrolment, and $1 million comes from a reduced allocation for teacher qualifications and experience. The Classroom Staffing Fund (CSF) is reduced by $1.8 million with $0.8 million due to lower enrolment and $1 million from decreased Teacher qualification and experience funding. Changes in the other categories listed under Core Ed is mainly due to lower enrolment. Other Government Grants increased by $1.4 million primarily due to new Responsive Education Programs (REP) grant announcements and other supplemental grants.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Manager Carson noted that Appendix 2A provides information about the REP grant announcements that are also part of other government grants. The report highlights a notable increase of $320,000 for the K-12 Cyber Protection Strategy Pilot, with this funding being announced after the initial budget release. Other Revenues decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to a decrease in temporary Educational Assistants being seconded to Jordan’s Principle. This agency supports Indigenous students with high needs.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Manager Carson reviewed the Operating Budget Expenditures which reflect a total decrease of $1.8 million. This reduction corresponds with decreased funding, as previously referenced. Other changes include additional REP funded textbooks and supplies expenditures and REP funded staff development expenditures. The increases for short term Educational Assistants and IT devices were approved at the October 29, 2025, Board meeting.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Manager Carson advised that in Quarter 1 for the period ending November 30, 2025, the Board has spent $76.5 million or 24% of our $316.9 million operating budget. This is comparable to the 24% spent in Quarter 1 of the 2024-25 fiscal year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Chair McGregor thanked Superintendent Young and Manager Carson and called upon Trustees for questions.</span></p></div></details><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategic Plan End-of-Year Report 2024-2025</strong></b></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Director Burra opened the presentation. Trustees were reminded of the 2022-2028 Strategic Plan framework and informed that an expanded color legend was used to better reflect areas of mixed progress. While many goals show strong advancement, some areas continue to require focused attention. He noted that last year the board was midway through the second year of the plan, and the plan is on track, and in some areas, exceeding expectations for achieving end‑of‑plan outcomes. This is especially true in core academic skills such as literacy and mathematics. Student success indicators, including graduation readiness and student perceptions of preparedness, show positive trends.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Director Burra explained that certain strategic areas, such as creating positive school cultures and enhancing service excellence, will always reflect a “work in progress,” as experiences vary across schools and interactions with central office staff. These areas are continually monitored, though they are unlikely to be rated as fully achieved due to their individualized nature. He also noted that some provincial data, such as credit accumulation, was not shown because it has not yet been released. To ensure transparency and continuity of reporting, all Education, Policy, and Operations meetings and Board meetings for 2024-2025 have been catalogued and aligned with the five strategic goals. Director Burra turned the presentation over to the Senior Team to review student achievement data in greater depth.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendents Sartor and Hedderson presented updates on literacy and math achievement, the first two goals in the Strategic Plan. They emphasized the importance of examining baseline results from 2022-2023, when post‑pandemic EQAO scores were significantly below the provincial average. These results prompted intensive, intentional, systemwide action in both literacy and math. Staff reported substantial improvements in literacy from 2023 to 2024. The gap between board and provincial averages, previously 5-13 percentage points, narrowed to 2-7.5 points. Grade 6 writing, a particular area of concern last year, was addressed through focused professional learning. In the most recent year, LDSB exceeded provincial averages in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading and writing and approached provincial levels in Grade 10 OSSLT. OSSLT scores improved at a faster rate than the province and are on track to surpass the provincial average next year. Multi‑year data show consistent upward trends in primary literacy.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students with special education needs demonstrated notable progress. LDSB now exceeds provincial averages in primary and junior reading and writing. A 20% increase in Grade 6 EQAO writing achievement was highlighted as a significant success. Staff will continue examining which strategies have driven this growth to ensure sustainability.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Perceptual data showed that 73% of Grade 3 students believe they are good readers, but confidence declines by Grade 6. Since confidence strongly correlates with achievement, staff will explore this further and continue supporting students in recognizing their growth and building self‑efficacy.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Sartor concluded her part of the presentation by sharing that OSSLT results that showed the board nearly meeting the provincial average, with consistent year‑over‑year growth. Students with special education needs now outperform provincial results in the OSSLT, and participation rates exceed the province by approximately 1%. Staff identified several key initiatives supporting recent gains, including systemwide implementation of the early reading screener, intensive tiered interventions (Lexia, Rewards, Empower), spring tutoring, and ongoing professional learning for educators and administrators. Associate Superintendent Sartor emphasized that classroom educators’ commitment and expertise remain central to student success.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Hedderson presented math results beginning with the baseline year (2022-2023), when the board was significantly below the provincial average in all divisions. Only 37% of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard, and Grade 3 results were 16.5 points below the provincial average. In 2023-2024 and again in the most recent year, the board saw notable improvements across Grades 3, 6, and 9. Grade 3 achievement rose above the provincial average at 64.5%, and Grade 6 results are now nearly equal to provincial levels. Grade 9 improvements are ongoing, though provincial results continue to shift as well. Over two years, Grade 3 achievement increased by 21.3% (representing 288 additional students), and Grade 6 rose by 14.2%—far exceeding provincial growth rates.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students with special educational needs made significant gains, particularly in Grade 3, where nearly 9% more students met the provincial standard compared to a 2.5% provincial increase. Grade 9 students with special education needs also improved at nearly double the provincial rate.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">EQAO perceptual data showed slight declines in confidence for Grades 3 and 6, despite strong achievement gains, while Grade 9 confidence rose by 3.7%. Associate Superintendent Hedderson noted that the relationship between confidence and achievement is bidirectional and that monitoring of these trends to explore contributing factors will continue. He highlighted initiatives that supported math gains, including job embedded professional learning in priority schools, development of an instructional progression outlining consistent classroom routines, enhanced focus on students with modified math expectations, and deeper adoption of 15minute daily math fluency routines. The board has also seen positive outcomes from targeted spring tutoring programs.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent McKenna shared information on graduation and pathways to student success. She shared that the percentage of students earning 16 or more credits by the end of Grade 10 increased from 73% to 84.6%. This is attributed to weekly Student Success Team meetings, robust intervention plans, and targeted supports for students with modified IEPs. These results are expected to positively impact future graduation rates.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Data showed that participation in Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM), dual credit, and apprenticeship pathways increased to 28%. Dual credit enrolment rose to 290 students, and SHSM achieved a 91% completion rate—well above the provincial rate of 63%. Associate Superintendent McKenna emphasized that participation in these programs strongly correlates with successful graduation and post‑secondary readiness.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The board’s graduation rate remains closely aligned with the provincial trend at 89%. Staff noted that Ministry calculations include all Grade 9 students, including those who later leave the board, while internal data tracking only remaining students shows even higher success rates. She concluded by noting that EQAO student voice data indicates that 68% of Grade 9 and 66% of Grade 10 students feel prepared for their next steps. These insights are further supported by Grade 8 and Grade 12 exit surveys and school climate surveys.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Superintendent Gillam presented on the goal of improving student well-being/sense of belonging. Participation/engagement in class time, and time focused on learning. He shared information about the status of increasing the percentage of students in Grades 1 to 8 whose individual attendance rate is equal to or greater than 90%. Over the past three years, the board has seen steady increases. This progress reflects significant efforts by elementary and secondary school teams, including teachers, administrators, support staff, caregivers, and community partners, who have worked collaboratively to identify and remove barriers to regular attendance.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Superintendent Gillam reviewed EQAO‑reported data on student awareness of mental health services in Grades 6, 9, and 10. Results show steady improvement over two years and indicate that LDSB is at or above the provincial average, with the exception of Grade 10, which will undergo further analysis. The board will continue monitoring how newly implemented mental health literacy modules in Grades 6 to 10 support students’ understanding of available Tier 1 supports. He concluded by sharing that with new Grades 6, 7, 8, and 10 mental health literacy modules becoming mandatory, staff will work closely with schools to assess students’ knowledge of supports and to strengthen Tier 1 mental‑health instruction. The focus will be on ensuring all students, regardless of grade, know where to seek help. These results reflect positive trends in the Board’s strategic well‑being goals.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Gollogly presented updated suspension data for students in Grades 4 to 12. In 2023-24, approximately 7% of students were suspended, with the highest rates typically occurring in Grades 7 to 9. In the current year, the suspension rate has decreased to roughly 6.2%, reflecting progress in reducing suspensions across the system. She outlined that several supports are available to students who are suspended or expelled. The Student Impact Program at the YMCA served 36 students last year, resulting in the completion of 150 credits and two graduates. The Gateway Program in Napanee served seven students, generating three credits and one graduate. A newer Back on Track program, also delivered in partnership with the YMCA, provides structured support for students suspended for three to seven days, combining academic work, targeted workshops, and access to social work services. Of the 30 students who participated last year, only one required a second referral.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Gollogly explained that the RISE Program continues to support students in Grades 6 to 8 experiencing challenges in school or the community. She highlighted a partnership with Kingston 4 Paws, which provides a certified service dog, “Limestone Teddy,” who works daily with students in YMCA programs and visits schools during times of crisis or need. Testimonials show that Teddy’s presence improves student well‑being, reduces anxiety, and has contributed to significantly improved attendance and behaviour within the program.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Director Burra concluded the presentation by noting the pride shared by the team and emphasized the seriousness with which this work is undertaken. He reminded Trustees that some provincial data takes time to be released, which explains why certain indicators, such as credit accumulation, were not yet available on slides. Administrators received the same presentation earlier in the day, and staff reiterated the importance of monitoring the cohort that was assessed in 2022–2023, as they progress into Grade 6 and 9 this year. The results from upcoming assessments will help confirm whether recent instructional strategies are having sustained impact. The gains shown represent significant and complex work across the system by educators, administrators, support staff, and central teams.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Director Burra reviewed several Strategic‑Plan initiatives related to staff well‑being and efficiencies. The staff belonging and well‑being survey continues to be administered every few years, alongside adjustments to reporting processes in response to staff feedback. Updates to the internal myLDSB staff portal were highlighted, with plans to explore AI‑based tools that could help employees quickly locate information and reduce workload. The board is also expanding the use of data dashboards to provide real‑time attendance and student support information. Educator devices were replenished last year to ensure staff have the tools they need. Results from the recent corporate services staff survey will be included in next year’s report.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Director Burra shared that there are plans for a family engagement survey to be conducted later this winter and spring. This will pair with other ongoing engagement processes which include the annual budget survey and the school‑year calendar consultation. The board has expanded its communication with families around AI literacy, offering videos, resources, and tools on the board website. Families continue to receive curated learning supports every few months in areas such as math, literacy, and media literacy. Next year’s reporting will include more quantitative data related to family and staff voice.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Chair McGregor thanked Director Burra and the senior team and opened the floor for questions.</span></p></div></details><details open="true"><summary><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Math Achievement Action Plan</strong></b></p></summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Hedderson provided an update on year 3 of the Math Achievement Action Plan (MAAP) and its alignment with the board’s strategic priorities of engagement, well‑being, and student learning. The plan focuses on improving educator capacity, supporting administrators and school teams, and strengthening student achievement in mathematics. He reviewed the three provincial actions guiding the plan which are: ensuring fidelity to the math curriculum and high-impact instructional practices, improving educators’ math content knowledge and knowing the math learner so that tasks, interventions, and supports are relevant and responsive.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Hedderson shared the four ministry‑introduced indicators which will continue to be measured this year: (1) students progressing in achievement on report cards; (2) progress for students with curriculum modifications; (3) attendance rates of 90%+ in math classes; and (4) student‑reported confidence in math.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Snapshots of math learning across the system highlighted strong collaboration, increased use of digital tools, and varied resources to support conceptual understanding. Staff emphasized that many curriculum expectations now explicitly require students to use tools, making their consistent availability essential from Kindergarten through Grade 12.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Hedderson shared that the board is engaged in deeper analysis using student, educator, and administrator voice alongside newly released EQAO data to understand which strategies are driving positive results. While system‑level growth is evident, achievement remains uneven across schools. Priority schools (22 elementary, 4 secondary) show overall improvement, though variation persists, prompting continued qualitative data collection to guide adjustments.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Administrators continue to report several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) multiple times per year to assess the impact of strategies and adjust supports as needed. One ongoing indicator is daily 15‑minute math fluency instruction in K to Grade 9, which continues to correlate positively with EQAO outcomes. As of December 8, 2025, 223 students are being tracked for developmental progress in foundational fluency skills. Associate Superintendent Hedderson noted that new KPIs will monitor students’ progress toward grade‑level expectations through short cycles of improvement. Schools are currently implementing these cycles to identify existing student knowledge, intervene earlier, and support core academic skill development.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Beginning Friday, the board will launch new software to support consistent, common formative assessments across grades, starting with Grades 3, 6, and 9. This initiative aims to clarify grade‑level standards, analyze student misconceptions, and improve consistency in report card data across all schools. Staff noted this will be a multi‑year effort. The software will allow the board to gather student responses and capture students’ visible thinking to support system‑level trend analysis and guide professional learning.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Hedderson shared that the board recently engaged Early Childhood Educators in professional learning on effective early mathematics instruction. This work supports preparation for the revised Kindergarten curriculum coming in the fall. Math learning partners, MAAP facilitators, and school teams will continue supporting educators directly in classrooms. Cross‑panel groups have formed to strengthen transitions into Grade 9 and improve Grade 9 math achievement. Efforts also continue to create gap‑closing resources, which are increasingly used by teachers seeking to accelerate student progress.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate Superintendent Hedderson concluded his report by sharing that Grade 9 teachers and department heads have engaged in collaborative analysis of the December EQAO results, including on the day before the winter break. This work is informing preparation for both the January Grade 9 EQAO administration and the transition into second semester. Next week, Senior Staff will start leading elementary data days with administrators and teacher teams. Using the newly released EQAO results and additional dashboard data, the teams will identify students not yet achieving at grade level and determine targeted instructional strategies to support their progress.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Chair McGregor thanked Associate Superintendent Hedderson for his report and called upon Trustees for questions.</span></p></div></details><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Unfinished Business</span></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Trustees reviewed the previously passed November motion that deferred the election of the OPSBA representative to the January 14, 2026, Board meeting.

2026-2027 School Year Calendar Survey
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is developing the 2026-2027 school year calendar. With Labour Day falling later than usual in 2026, the creation of a balanced and consistent calendar has presented more challenges than in typical years.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We continue to receive inquiries about the possibility of introducing a fall break. During the 2023–2024 school year, students, families, staff, and community members were surveyed on this topic. Due to the way the calendar year falls and contractual agreements, implementing a fall break is not something we are able to consider for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In collaboration with our coterminous boards—the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board—we have prepared </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">four calendar options for consideration</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.
