Correspondence

- Janet Ellis - Anglophone Public Education in New Brunswick

There was lengthy discussion and debate on Ms. Ellis' letter received through our email address on the school website. It was agreed that the letter be filed with no action taken and a reply sent to Ms. Ellis thanking her for her interest in our education system.

Old Business

1. Although the issue of condom machines was postponed to our next agenda the question was asked whether other high schools have these machines and their experience with them. It is believed that the machines were not utilized enough to warrant maintenance.

ACTION: Bob will check with other high schools.

2. Tammy has had no further contact with the Community Police Officer.

3. Although nothing specific has been finalized and no deadlines are yet set money has been allocated to the District and it is hoped the air system upgrade could take place next year.

4. Our budget for the year is $3213. An expenditure of up to $1600 for talk mail and phone lines was previously approved. Tammy was allocated $175. for staff appreciation. Expenditures should be committed by the end of January. Input was requested as to how best to utilize the funds.

ACTION: Bob will ask staff for suggestions.
