More support for students was the main priority following a public survey recently launched by the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board.
Close to 200 people, over half of them school board employees, took part in the public consultation suggesting more Educational Assistants be hired and better resources for special education.
Improved access to technology, mental health supports and professional development for teachers were also seen as important.
The survey will guide discussions as the board begins its 2025 budgeting process and monthly financial updates are to be posted online.
