Swan Valley\nSchool Division<\/p>\n
Swan Valley
\nSchool Division<\/p>\n
Executive Summary of the
\nFebruary 13, 2017
\nRegular Board Meeting<\/p>\n
Submitted by:
\nTim Mendel
\nSuperintendent\/CEO
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br>
\n1. The Board held a meeting before the regular meeting to begin deliberations on creating a budget for 2017\/18. Provincial funding for Swan Valley School Division is down about $250,000 from last year. The 1% increase in funding announced by the government is an average across all divisions, it does not mean every division received a 1% increase. The majority of divisions will see a decrease in provincial funding. This will be a challenging budget for SVSD. <\/p>\n
2. The Superintendent informed the Board that Wab Kinew, Education Critic NDP, dropped by to introduce himself to senior administration. He toured the Regional Secondary School and interacted with some staff and students. He was impressed with all the programs offered at SVRSS. 3. Kris Woodward was appointed the Principal of \u00c9cole Swan River South School. A good pool of applicants. <\/p>\n
4. The Board has decided not to participate in the Tell Them From Me Survey this year. The Division will participate every two years. <\/p>\n
5. Trustee Highmoor reported on the Liaison Meeting. The meeting was very positive. SVTA had positive comments about the Strategic Planning process. There were discussions about having one recognition event, combining teaching and nonteaching staff. More consultation needed before a decision can be made. <\/p>\n
6. Trustees who attended the G5 meeting commented on the positive tone of the meeting. Trustees shared some of the issues discussed at the meeting. Nice to have all the RM\u2019s and School Division working together. <\/p>\n
7. The Board has decided on a New Mission and Vision Statement.
\nVision Statement: \u201cReady to Succeed\u201d
\nMission Statement: \u201cThe mission of Swan Valley School Division is to create an inspiring, learning community where all belong, contribute and succeed\u201d
