Curriculum Feedback

Curriculum Engagement Summary

The following summary is comprised of feedback gathered at two parent engagement sessions hosted via Teams on Oct. 19 and Oct. 27, as well as the feedback survey hosted on the Division Community Engagement website.
The areas for feedback on the website were based on the areas of feedback that Education Minister Adriana LaGrange requested from Alberta School Board Association (ASBA). Lethbridge School Division trustees will provide feedback to ASBA. The ASBA will summarize feedback from the different school boards in a briefing for the Minister. Thank you to parents and community members who provided feedback! It is very thoughtful and thorough. Your feedback will help the Board provide feedback that is informed by stakeholders.

Lethbridge School Division trustees believe it is important to represent the perspective of their constituents in the feedback document we will develop.
