There's some useful information for parents at the Portage la Prairie School Division website.

Assistant Superintendent Mike Mauws says their 2015-16 report and 2016-17 plan can now be found online.

"Starting this year divisions need to report their plan for the upcoming school year, and report on what occurred in the past year. In the past, they would send those plans and reports in to Manitoba Education. Starting October 31st divisions are required to post those up on their website."

Mauws says a lot of work went into the reports, and they're excited about the finished product.

"We put a lot of time in putting that together and pulling all the data together. We think it's a good way for the public to see what the priority areas and focus areas are for the division are in the past and upcoming year. It's been a very useful process."
