The WRSD Board of Trustees and senior administration are committed to ensuring the Division is operating as efficiently and effectively as possible in the best interest of the children we serve. As such, in September 2022, WRSD made the decision to contract Deloitte Canada to conduct an independent organizational review of WRSD operations. During the month of October, Deloitte gathered extensive data from WRSD regarding the division's organizational structure, role descriptions, policies, procedures, enrollment, communications, budget and spending.
Deloitte held interviews with the Board of Trustees, members of the senior leadership team and all school administrators. Surveys were sent to all school staff, division office staff, school councils and 10 other Alberta school divisions that are similar in size and makeup to WRSD. Deloitte analyzed all of this data and came up with 11 recommendations (see WRSD Organizational & Operational Review Report for details). The Board and administration are currently developing a comprehensive action plan to address each of the recommendations from the report.
We want to thank staff and school councils for taking time to contribute to this process. We hear you and your feedback will be used to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our school division as we continue to pursue our mission of providing powerful learning environments in all of our schools and communities.
