\nSwan Valley

Executive Summary of the
\nApril 24, 2017
\nRegular Board Meeting<\/p>\n
Submitted by:
\nTim Mendel
\nSuperintendent\/CEO
\n<\/br>
\n1. Robert Ter Horst and Beverley Polon from Swan Valley Communities That Care presented a Life Skills Training Program to the Board. The Program aligns with the Division\u2019s Strategic Plan. The Program will be presented to the Principals for feedback. A decision on implementation will be made at a later date. Great presentation.<\/p>\n
2. The Board approved providing additional space to Benito Child Care, given that the school supports this decision. However, the Board wants the Child Care to guarantee its hours of operation.<\/p>\n
3. The Trustees each shared information about sessions they attended at the recent Manitoba School Boards Association Convention.<\/p>\n
4. Trustee Wowchuk shared information with Trustees about the Rural Forum Conference he attended.<\/p>\n
5. The Maintenance Supervisor updated the Board on the Five Year Capital Plan.<\/p>\n
6. The Sunflower Early Learning Centre in Minitonas requested a change in location within the Minitonas Early Years School. The Board directed the CEO and the Maintenance Supervisor to meet with Child Care Staff to investigate this request.<\/p>\n
7. The Board approved the school calendar for next year. The Board was informed that the PD Committee has set the PD Topics for next year. The topics will be: Indigenous Education, Lit\/Numeracy, Restitution, Local School Topic Choice, SAGE\/LIFT. The PD Committee has also decided to allocate PD funds directly into school budgets. Each school will receive a base of $1,000 and $500 per full time teacher. This puts more of the decision making into the local schools hands and takes it out of central office.<\/p>\n
8. The new phone system is being installed. Most schools should have the new phones up and operational by the end of the month. The old system was no longer going to be supported or upgraded by its operator, therefore a change needed to be made.<\/p>\n
9. A huge congratulations to Staff and Students of Taylor School for putting on a terrific show, \u201cAladdin\u201d. A special thanks to Patricia Nicole, the Music Teacher. Job well done.<\/p>\n
10. A big thanks to Bowsman Staff and Students for their showcase evening. Great event.
