Annie Grenier said that the Council of Commissioners decided at their last meeting decided that they would discuss this issue in December and bring it to the Education Council for the final decision.

7 STAY-IN-SCHOOL PROJECTS 2006-2007 / KRG

On a motion duly made by Willie Cain Sr., it was resolved to adopt the following resolution no. 2006-07-46.

WHEREAS Betsy Annahatak, Director of Education Services, in Kuujjuaq was presented by the Kativik Regional Government with a Project entitled “Stay-in School Projects 2006-07”;

WHEREAS Betsy Annahatak has reviewed the said project and deems advisable for the Kativik School Board to enter into the contract presented by the Kativik Regional Government as said project will benefit the student population in every community;

THAT the Director General be authorized to sign this agreement of lease in duplicate on behalf of the School Board.

Mary and Alicie said that once the students graduate from IPL they do not have any support to start their own business. Charlie Watt Jr, said that KRDC should promote the support they give. Michael wonders if this program includes studies on how to start a business. Gaston said that he would look into it. Mary said that it needs support beyond the school.

8 SECONDARY 6

Montreal 6 XC671-2006/07 November 21 and 22, 2006 MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE KATIVIK SCHOOL BOARD

Gaston said that Secondary 6 in Inukjuak and Kuujjuaq will have to be put in Adult Education for the next school year because MELS would be able to fund them. He also said that this year they will be in deficit because they opened a student residence in Kuujjuaq.

Michael wonders if the students would be recognized as Adult Education student or regular sector.

Gaston said that it would be pre post secondary Education.

Mary said that recognition of this program is as good as regular sector and they will be able to get proper funding.

Alicie wonders if it would become easier to get the new residence in Kangirsujuaq.

Gaston said that this residence in Kangirsujuaq was created to accommodate regular sector students and it would remain as it is.

9 CD ROLES

Gaston said that they have formed a committee to look into the roles of the school Center directors. Sarah Airo and Valentina De krom will make a presentation in December.

10 GRADE 7

Gaston said that they would meet with MELS to change the status of grade 7 and to convert it to pre secondary students and it would make difference in budgets and in allocation of teachers.

Mary added by saying that different scenarios have been set and it would benefit more to KSB and its students.

Annie Grenier said that pre secondary is a preparation for secondary studies and said that MELS might easily accept this request.

Michael wonders what the role of Secondary 6 is.

Gaston, Annie and Mary responded by saying, the goal of secondary 6 is to prepare students for post secondary and to get their missing credits but most of them have their secondary V diploma.

11 90 MINUTES TEACHING TIME INCREASE

Gaston said that this has been practiced for a long time now by KSB. He also said that it would be difficult to add 90 minutes.

They will wait for news from MELS and then speak to them about our situation.

Michael said that he would like them to look into it again to give time to students to be more energetic. And see what could be done.

Charlie Alaku would like to know if KSB could refuse this increase.

Montreal 7 XC671-2006/07 November 21 and 22, 2006 MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE KATIVIK SCHOOL BOARD

Annie Grenier said that they have written a letter to MELS.

Mary said that schools are working really hard and they are also doing after school activities.

Harriet said that since it is the first time that they are trying it in the southern schools some students are having hard time to keep up with the time increase and she also added by saying that KSB should wait to see what kind of reaction they had in the southern schools before accepting this increase or before they make changes.

Michael said that he thinks that it would be helpful to see how we could make changes for the Physical Education and Arts courses. He also would like to know if the 10 minutes before 9 entry to school have had an impact negatively and positively.

Mary said that students are happy to go to these courses because they happen once a week. She also said that 10 to 9 time would be looked into during the school organization meeting in February.

Charlie Alaku said that the Education Committee of Kangirsujuaq did not agree with 90 minutes increase. He also would like to know if teachers are allowed to lock their classrooms after 15 minutes.

Annie Grenier said that they could do so.

Charlie Alaku said that something ahs to be done because students who are locked out tend to go into mischief.

Sarah Airo said that this will have to be standardized after having standardized the calendar. The school have to have good communications.

Annie said that they could also use the students agendas to have communication between school and parents.

Gaston said that they would talk about this during the Administrators meeting.

12 BUDGET DEFICIT

Gaston said that they are in deficit because technology department was created with no financing. They also did a field trip last year without having the budget.

Annie said that they will meet to try and find ways to decrease this deficit.

Charlie Watt Jr. would like to know if this have happened in the past.

Gaston said that it has happened in the past.

Chanh said that the budgets have to be respected in order to pay the deficit.

Michael said that Chanh should inform Annie on monthly basis on the budgets. He also said that the Executives should be informed on monthly basis too.

Charlie Watt Jr. said that the director of Finance should be more vigilant in his duties.

Montreal 8 XC671-2006/07 November 21 and 22, 2006 MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE KATIVIK SCHOOL BOARD

Mary said even if we do not get funding from MELS we would have to make some changes in order to meet our needs and to decrease the deficit. New money has to come in instead of having to keep cutting or shifting our services.

13 RESPONSE DRAFT LETTER TO MR. PATRICK D'ASTOUS

Charlie Watt Jr., wonders if all teachers feel the same way.

Annie Grenier responded by saying that he has generalized the problems and a letter would be went to AENQ president and it's Executives.

Charlie Alaku said that there are really mean students in schools and they had to have a public meeting in Kangirsujuaq to get the parents involved. They will write a letter to KSB and give their recommendations the one they received from the parents. The student who poked a teacher is not an only incident because there are other students who have problems too.

Mary said that they are also concerned and are trying to help the society and they have formed a regional partnership committee. As administrators of KSB, we are concerned with the problems and are doing everything to do the job.

Charlie Alaku said not all children have problems in school. There are only few students who have problems a minority of the school populations and wishes to provide proper help for these students and they also influence students who have no problems.

Annie Grenier said that when they hear students with problems they react right away. If the president of AENQ have come to KSB we would work with him. It is not fair for someone to accuse anyone or any organization without giving them a chance to fairly respond to the accusations. She also said that an interview could be scheduled to respond to the interview of Mr. D'Astous.

Charlie Watt Jr., said that if other organizations are aware of this interview, they might think like him and think that we should also send them a respond.

Lana said that the Executives of AENQ do not agree with the comments of their president.

A letter of response will be sent to AENQ and schedule an equal time for interview with CBC.

14 ACTION FILED AGAINST NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Louise Boissé informed the meeting that she has contacted KRG to retract the comments of Jim Bell from Nunatsiaq news because he made comments on which he accused KRG executives of drug dealing and bootlegging.

KRG, Makivik and KSB will file an action against Nunatsiaq News for having been wrongfully accused.

Mary said that they have tried to use Nunatsiaq news to inform the public about positive things that are happening at KSB but that newspaper have been used to negatively
