The Investment Committee consists of a group of volunteers that bring to the table in-depth investment and business acumen. These dedicated individuals are a highly cohesive group; setting and implementing policy in accordance with dynamic market conditions. Their efforts contribute greatly to the overall long term success of the Foundation.

    THE WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – MAY 7, 2015 1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Committee members approved the Meeting Agenda of May 7, 2015, as distributed. 2. INTERAC PAYMENT At a previous meeting, Committee members agreed to discuss Interac Payment Options/Automated Banking Machines in schools. Mr. Doug Edmond, Director of Research, Planning & Systems Management was in attendance to provide an overview on electronic payments in the Winnipeg School Division. Committee members were informed that as a result of previous discussions at Student Advisory Committee meetings, regarding automated banking machines, administration has obtained information regarding the viability of placing Automated Banking Machines (ATM) in schools. Committee members were informed that the cost to acquire an ATM is approximately $4,000. In addition to the cost of the machine, whether purchased outright or leased, the customer is responsible for the costs of installation including electrical and internet or telephone communication hook-ups, anchoring/placement, and security. The replenishment of cash to the machine is usually the responsibility of the customer although some third-party services may be available. The customers generate revenues from the machine by charging a user transaction fee which ranges between $1.00 and $1.75. Administration has previously contacted high schools in the Winnipeg School Division and the cafeterias in most schools are operated through a food service contractor who offers interact as a method of payment. At least one school indicated that a cash-back option is available with a $1.50 charge. In the review conducted, other considerations regarding ATM’s were noted.
