Executive Summary of the
\nDecember 12, 2016
\nRegular Board Meeting<\/p>\n
Submitted by:
\nTim Mendel
\nSuperintendent\/CEO
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br>1.\tThe Board approved two Band Trips for ESRSS. One trip is in Manitoba to the Brandon \t\tJazz Festival and the other is to the Moose Jaw\/Regina Spring Fest. <\/p>\n
2.\tThe Numeracy Committee presented an Early Numeracy Intervention Proposal to the \tBoard. The proposal entails hiring Numeracy experts to work with small groups of \tstudents who have difficulty in the area of Numeracy. The idea is to provide those \tstudents with short term targeted intervention. The Board will consider this proposal \tduring budget deliberations in the new year. <\/p>\n
\tThanks to the members of the Numeracy Committee for their work.<\/p>\n
3.\tA number of Trustees reported back to the whole Board in regards to a MSBA PD event \tthat they attended. All who attended found the information from the PD event useful \tand worthwhile. Trustees always report back to the whole Board after they attend a PD \tevent. <\/p>\n
4.\tAdministration was asked to write a letter to Public Health to inquire why home visits \tand support is no longer offered to families in need when faced with lice infestation. In \tthe past, Public Health would visit homes and support families to rectify the problem; \tthis is no longer the case. <\/p>\n
5.\tDuring his opening, Trustee Wowchuk provided a brief overview of history in the Valley. \tHe shared info on past inhabitants, archaeological evidence, artifacts and pictures of \tsacred sites, etc. Very informative presentation.<\/p>\n
6.\tTrustees had positive comments about the AAA Feast held at the Regional School on \tDecember 6. Big thanks to the organizers for all their work in making the event a \tsuccess. <\/p>\n
7.\tTrustees discussed the Support Staff Recognition evening. Great event. Discussion \tabout the gifts and maybe giving people a choice of receiving a gift or a gift card. The \tBoard also wondered whether it was time to have just one evening instead of two separate events; one for support staff and one for teachers. Administration to perhaps \tconduct a survey and talk to reps to get feedback.<\/p>\n
