The board discussed the agenda for the extraordinary meeting, including a public question period for which no one was registered. The board entered a closed-door session for administrative proceedings before returning to open session to address recommendations from the Regional Student Protector regarding a complaint related to the application of the code of conduct at École Leblanc. The board ultimately resolved not to follow the recommendations and confirmed this decision to the relevant parties.

The board meeting featured the presentation of the annual report, a public question period regarding school facilities and staff safety, and reports from committee presidents and the director general. Discussions included school projects, upcoming registration periods, changes to establishment acts, school perseverance initiatives, staffing levels, and safety measures following a transport accident. Decisions were made to approve the director general's expense account, the three-year real estate distribution plan, the revenue distribution criteria for the upcoming school year, and the appointment of an independent auditor for the financial period ending in March 2026 and the following annual fiscal year.

The vision is to support each student towards success through an excellent, effective educational community sustained by a culture of continuous improvement. This is guided by core values of commitment, collaboration, and adaptability. The plan focuses on three strategic directions: supporting students throughout their educational journey, applying best practices, and providing an environment conducive to success, which includes integral services for students with disabilities or learning difficulties.

This document outlines a competency framework for directors and assistant directors of educational institutions at the Centre de services scolaire de Laval. It defines the essential skills and expertise required for leadership roles, addressing the complexities of the educational environment. The framework emphasizes a transversal competency of ethical conduct and is structured around five key intervention domains: management focused on educational success, pedagogical and shared leadership, collaborative culture for learning, continuous improvement for educational success, and fostering a caring, healthy, and safe environment. This tool aims to support professional development, identify talent, aid in selection, and facilitate career planning for managers, ultimately contributing to student success and overall organizational effectiveness.

The Commitment to Success Plan (PEVR) serves as the guiding document for the Valle School Service Centre until 2027, outlining its vision, values, and orientations. The plan is committed to achieving eight primary objectives, which are further broken down into 18 specific goals. Key priorities include increasing graduation and qualification rates, decreasing the rate of students leaving school without a diploma or qualification, and enhancing the level of well-being and security. The overarching aim is to support overall success, measured by indicators such as the success rate and the rate of obtaining a first diploma or qualification within seven years of entering secondary school.
