After being challenged to come up with creative solutions at the January 26, 2010 School Board #57 Meeting, a supplementary report entitled “More with Less” was prepared by a number of concerned parents. Much thought has gone into finding constructive alternative solutions to addressing SD #57 budget deficit and can be read in its entirety here.
At the February 23rd School Board Meeting, there was a number of parents in attendance who voiced their concern about the Sustainability Committee's recommendations for school closures. Among the speakers that evening were Faellen Brandner for Giscome Elementary School and Jacqueline Dockray of Ecole College Heights Elementary. A copy of each of their presentations can be found here.
PG DPAC operates a email service that allows us to quickly communicate with the PACs. It is meant for us to discuss things, make each other aware of information and to share our triumphs.
