It is my pleasure to receive the Durham District School Board’s 2026 Annual Report on behalf of the Board of Trustees.  

Guided by our Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP)— we continue to strengthen our schools, expand opportunities for learning and well-being across the district, making progress in literacy and mathematics, and deepening our commitment to belonging. I invite you to explore some of the year’s highlights, including stories about land, learning, and community connection, how technology supports learning for one school’s Brew Crew, and our Inclusive Skills competition.  

It has been an honour to participate in the 2022-26 term of the Board of Trustees. As Chair for 2025-26, I want to express collective appreciation on behalf of the Board to the communities we serve and our community partners. It is your feedback and collaboration that supports governance decision making, as we work together in partnership to continually improve the DDSB for future generations of staff, students, and families.  

With Gratitude,  

Tracy Brown
