Old Business
Rec Commission: From conversations with a few Rec Commission directors we understand that the Rec Commission board could ask RDCK to cover liability for gym activities and events that involve activities in the school, possibly as a line item in their budget. There will need to be more communication with Rec Commission directors to see if this can happen.
Hot soup program- financials: Paula received call from Chiyoko asking if PAC is supporting soup project? No PAC funds have been given to school for soup. Katrina motioned $500 to soup, Beth seconded, passed.
SPC update: SEAs currently have limited access to pro-development. To support SPC objective of emotional well-being, funds have been set aside for pro-d on helping kids with self-regulation. Funds for fine arts that have been lost throughout years and so $1000 will be allotted. Also funds for regional science fair and Lucerne Science Fair this Spring.
