Director’s Message
The Limestone District School Board Director’s Annual Report provides a brief snapshot of continued progress on our multi-year strategic plan, anchored by the pillars of Wellness, Innovation, and Collaboration.
It is important to acknowledge the significant challenges we navigated as a system as the pandemic continued to evolve. Limestone students, families, and staff continued to be flexible and adapt as new challenges arose throughout the school year. This year, we were fortunate to continue to operate and support in-person learning throughout the 2021-2022 school year.
Board Chair Suzanne Ruttan.
Chair’s Message
It has been an honour to serve as the Chair of the Limestone District School Board of Trustees. I would like to thank my fellow trustees for the work that we have done this year focused on ensuring students across the district receive quality public education.
The final year of our term in office has not been without its challenges, including supporting teaching and learning throughout the pandemic, and although extremely difficult at times to balance various pressures, Trustees remained focused on student achievement and well-being.
Our Strategic Priorities
School boards in Ontario are required to develop a Multi-Year Strategic Plan that outlines the Board’s strategic goals, progress that has been made against these goals in the previous school year, and actions the Board is taking in those strategic priority areas where goals are not being met.
The Limestone District School Board Strategic Plan 2017-2022 is anchored by three pillars – Wellness, Innovation and Collaboration.

Limestone District School Board by the Numbers
Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO)
The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) is an arm’s-length agency of the provincial government. Schools routinely consider EQAO data along with other information to support student success. Typically, students in all-publicly funded schools in Ontario are required to write the provincial EQAO assessments of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics in Grades 3 and 6, while students who take Grade 9 Mathematics are required to write the provincial assessment near the end of the course. The Grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) measures whether students are meeting the minimum standard for literacy across all subjects up to the end of Grade 9.
Additional EQAO highlights are available on our website.
