Meeting minutes from October 20th

An open PAC meeting was held on October 20th. There were 12 people attending, and three topics were discussed. Many thanks to those parents who were able to translate for our friends who wanted help with the English language.

1) A good hour was spent following up on the school meeting of October 15th. Some good questions were asked, and good discussions were had about students and the way our school operates. Some questions still remain. Please leave comments below if you want the PAC to ask our school's staff about anything.

2) Some ordinary PAC business was conducted in order to demonstrate some things that the PAC executive normally do.

3) Ideas for open meeting topics were discussed. Two are being developed, and a third is waiting for more information about multicultural initiatives at other schools in the Vancouver area.

A COMPLETE SUMMARY OF THIS MEETING IS AVAILABLE. Please leave a comment below if you are interested in a copy.

Francis.

P.S. Please note that all PAC meetings are "open". Some meetings are more about details of running the PAC - these are often called "executive" meetings, but we never have "closed" meetings. All parents or guardians with children at our school are automatically members of the PAC.

Any updates on the new schools? Now external evidence that anything is happening yet at the Old NRC site; no sign yet of a development permit application at either the Acadia Road of NRC site.

Will they make the targeted deadline of 2012? Or has that been changed now?
