Red Deer Public School District


	Red Deer Public recently hosted its 2^nd annual Student Town Hall Meeting to gather valuable input from students that will assist the School Board in developing future priorities and initiatives for the District. Around 100 students from both Hunting Hills and Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School shared their input and ideas on a variety of important issues facing our schools, including: Preparing students as 21^st century learners in responding to potential funding challenges Responding effectively to student discipline or behaviour Innovative strategies to broaden opportunities for students access to learning The School Board will use this feedback, along with information received from parents, community members, staff, and school administration to help develop the District Education Plan, which outlines goals, outcomes and strategies that will be the focus of the jurisdiction and our schools. Students used electronic polling technology to determine the level of support for each of the proposed questions. This is the second student town hall meeting, and, like the first, was a real success.
