Discussion:
Munnie was unable to attend today and therefore no report was provided. She will be providing an update to Lucky in the
near future.
There was a discussion about the use of funds by the school for field trips and school bus expenditures. It was agreed to
transfer $5000.00 from the general account to the school. Monthly receipts will be provided by the school. A deadline of
May 31 will be provided to the school. Any unused funds will be returned by then.
Transfer funds to the school
Discussion:
Jean introduced herself as the new principal of Erma Stephenson. She was happy to be at the new school and was
already impressed by the quality of the teachers, staff, students, and parents. She provided a written summary of events
that have recently occurred as well as upcoming events. She hopes for the school to go paperless as much as possible.
Newsletters and communications for parents and students will now be posted regularly on the school’s website. Emails
will also stop as there have been too many problems with bounce backs.
The Community Forum is an annual event where School Trustees meet with parents and interested parties. Typically a
school elects people to attend but anyone is welcome. Jean found the meeting provided an opportunity for parents to
voice opinions and provide input into policies.
Minutes from November 14, 2014 were approved, seconded and passed without amendments. Minutes will be posted
online and on the board.
