CENTRAL DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 2-2016

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: November 9, 2016

The Central District Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2017/2018 Budget Development

Chris Broughton, Chair of the Finance/Personnel Committee was in attendance to provide committee members with an overview of the 2017/2018 Draft Budget. Committee members were informed that the Board developed the Budget in support of Winnipeg School Division Strategic Plan.

The Committee was informed that the Budget was developed on the following Strategic Priorities: providing a robust and comprehensive education for students; improving learning outcomes; addressing barriers to learning; retaining and attracting valued staff; communicating and partnering with our communities; strengthening and enhancing sustainable development and managing tax dollars responsibly.

The Committee received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million.

The Committee reviewed the current Budget under the following categories: regular instruction, student support services, community education and services, instructional and support services, administration, student transportation, operations and maintenance and fiscal and capital expenditures.

The Committee was informed that the two major sources of funding are the Province of Manitoba and the property tax levy. In the most recent budget, provincial funding provided only 62% of the total revenue required to balance the WSD budget. The second major source of funding is from property taxation which provides an additional 36% of the total revenue. The remaining two percent is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use WSD resources.

The Committee was informed that education is service based and the majority of the annual budget, or 81%, goes directly to the cost of providing instruction and supports in the classroom. Another 19% covers costs such as student transportation, building maintenance and operations, business administration and support services related to research, planning and technology.

The 2017/2018 Budget, will continue to focus on improving student success and aligning resources with student needs. The Board is committed to maintaining programs introduced during previous budgets. These include safe school initiatives, language programs, early years education and programs to ensure student success through to graduation. The Committee was informed that the provincial funding announcement is expected from mid- January to mid-February.

The Committee received a survey to facilitate discussion on the Budget and agreed to continue their discussions in small groups. The Committee discussed which programs and services were successful for families and whether there was a need to improve on other programs/services that would contribute to ensure student success. Page 14 of 192

December 5, 2016 2 Central District Advisory Committee Report No. 2-2016

The Committee expressed concern that staggered bell times may disrupt family routines. Although, the Division spends over $6.5 million each year on transportation, the Committee were not in support of staggered bell times. The Committee suggested other options be explored, such as a walking school bus program as a cost saving measure. The Committee suggested that community after school programs could also help save on transportation costs.

A parent representative from Greenway School requested to have more school signs displayed around their school. It was expressed that there is not enough signage to indicate there is a school in the area. The Committee was informed that it is the responsibility of the school to fundraise to purchase signage or reader boards. It was suggested by a Trustee to apply for funds through grants.

The Committee suggested more supports for high schools similar to funding provided to elementary schools. The Committee expressed concern that the funding for supports in high schools is lower and that students require academic and guidance supports in all levels of education. The Committee requested that full-time guidance counsellors be available in all schools to assist students who require additional supports. It would be highly beneficial for students and staff to have someone available to deal with more serious issues. The Committee felt it would be beneficial to offer older student programs in the school that deal with more present issues such as self-esteem and body image. It was suggested that workshops be offered during a school term or offered short-term depending on subject matter and accessible information. As more children are being exposed to the pressures of what they think they should look like on social media and television.

The Committee discussed whether a full day pilot language program should be offered to students in Kindergarten. The Committee discussed whether a swimming program could be taught to students as basic safety lessons of the water. The Committee suggested adding a junior high self defense class into the gym curriculum as domestic violence and crime rates in Winnipeg are highest in Canada.

The Committee discussed the benefits of the full day Kindergarten program and commented that children are actively learning in the classroom, however questioned the need to expand the pilot.

The Committee expressed their thoughts on adding programs and supports for new immigrant families that could be implemented to help families who may be dealing with trauma or have language barriers that prevents them from learning while at school.

A parent representative expressed her gratitude for the School Resource Officer program offered at her school. Students feel safe and the officers serve as a positive role model for students. Trustee Broughton informed Committee members that the Division provides funds to support School Resource Officers in schools.

The Committee would like to see more focus on having Enrichment programs available for students. The Committee commented that combined classroom may not benefit students who are in the older grades as teachers are concentrating on the younger students in the classroom.

The Committee suggested that there is a need to have Breakfast programs available to students in all schools especially for those students who arrive early at school. Trustees Page 15 of 192

December 5, 2016 3 Central District Advisory Committee Report No. 2-2016

advised the Committee that a needs assessment would be helpful to determine whether supports are required in some schools.

In response to an enquiry regarding accessibility at some schools, the Committee was informed that the Division is working with the province to address accessibility issues in schools/building however, as funding for building renovations is provided by the province, projects may take time to be approved.

The Committee identified positive programs and services such as Language program, nursery program, working with textbooks and technology in schools, and the different learning styles being explored and offered in schools. The Trustees thanked the committee members for their kind comments of support.

The Committee was informed that in addition to Budget presentations at District Advisory Committee meetings additional information is available on the Division’s website including a Budget tool and property tax calculator. A Public meeting will also be held on February 27, 2017 at Administration Building No. 1, 1577 Wall Street East at 7:00 p.m. to provide information to the public and receive feedback from individuals or groups that may wish to attend. A survey is posted on the Division’s website www.winnipegsd.ca. The Committee was advised that the members of the Board are interested in receiving pre budget feedback.

2. Families and Schools Together (F&ST) Presentation

The Committee received a presentation by Christine Turnbull of Families and Schools Together. Families and Schools Together helps children thrive by building stronger, more supportive relationships at home. Built on evidence-based practices and rigorously tested, F&ST consistently produces statistically significant improvements in children’s behavior, emotional well-being and academic performance while building social capital among families, schools and communities. Families and Schools Together, Inc. exists to make a critical difference in the midst of these challenges by empowering parents, strengthening families and creating social networks that give children the opportunity for fulfilling, productive lives.

The Committee was informed that F&ST program runs one night a week for 8 weeks, providing transportation and meals to participating families. Children, parents and youth are separated into groups for age based activities and instruction based classes. The F&ST program also has a 2 year follow up program called Fast Works where families get together once a month for activities. The F&ST program connects families with primary school administration as well as assists in helping families get connected with community based programs.

The Committee was informed that Families and Schools Together is funded by schools, the province of MB and United Way. The program is offered for all grade levels and activities have been adjusted to meet the needs of the target child’s age. Families and Schools Together programs are run by trained staff, teachers, recreation coordinator, community partners and youth advocates. Each F&ST Team forms a “hub” serving eight to 10 participating F&ST Families. Several F&ST Teams can collaborate to run multiple hubs simultaneously to serve larger populations, such as an entire grade level of children and their families. For more information on the program or to have a presentation please contact Christine Turnbull at Families and Schools Together by email at [email protected] or by phone at 204-947-1401.

4. In Camera Meetings

At previous meetings Committee members discussed possible options regarding the Division’s existing practice of Board meetings, specifically in-camera sessions and suggested that administration provide an outline on other options for the scheduling of meetings and the process for camera sessions. The Chair of Governance Committee suggested a survey be developed and distributed to trustees and administration for feedback on this matter. The Committee noted that the majority of those who completed the survey are in favour of continuing the current practice of holding In-Camera Sessions at the end of Regular Board Meetings. Survey results also indicated that a majority are in favour of limiting In-Camera Sessions and creating a Consent Agenda for routine items.

The Committee agreed that a review of the Procedural By-Law 1203 would provide opportunities to improve how meetings are being conducted by including rules similar to those practiced during public session.

5. Governance Report

The Committee continued their discussion on the Governance Report.

As part of the Governance Report, the Committee also discussed the importance of all trustees following the communication processes. Trustees should be encouraged to forward issues with respect to Board matters to the Board Chairperson or Vice-Chair. Issues with respect to Board Committees should be directed to the Committee Chairs.

The Committee also discussed possible alternatives to processes such as Enquiries and Announcement as well as presenting Notice of Motions that are in alignment and support the Division’s Strategic Plan.

The Committee discussed whether the Division should develop a process to review Governance practices every two years to ensure that trustees are actively adhering to the Code of Conduct, legislation and Division policies.

6. Workplace Survey

At a meeting held June 16, 2016, the Committee received an update on the workplace survey as requested in the Governance Report.

The Committee was informed that the current practices and policies with respect to values and ethics are working effectively in supporting an ethical environment at the Winnipeg School Division.

The Committee discussed whether there would be benefits to distribute the survey annually to compare the results.

7. Board Orientation

The Committee discussed the possibility of expanding the current practices when providing orientation to new Trustees.

The Committee requested that administration develop an orientation model which would provide more in-depth training to include a more thorough review of the Procedural By-Law and duties of a Trustee as outlined in the Public Schools Act, opportunities for professional development, mock meetings and additional information sessions.

The Committee agreed that the administration create an in-depth orientation process which could be provided over a span of several months and assess whether there is a further need to hire an outside organization to provide additional workshops.

The Committee agreed to continue discussions at the next meeting.

8. Protocol for Attendance of Trustees at Concerts, Graduation Ceremonies, Special Events and/or School Visits

The Committee was informed that at a Public Relations/Communications Committee meeting held September 26, 2016, it was recommended that the protocol for attendance of trustees at concerts, graduation ceremonies, special events and/or school visits be referred to the Governance Committee for review.

The Committee agreed that the current protocol is sufficient.

9. Future Meeting Dates

The Committee gave consideration and approved meeting dates for the Governance Committee for the 2016/2017 school year.

10. Future Agenda Items

The Committee requested to discuss changing the Governance Committee to a Standing Committee rather than an Ad Hoc Committee at a future meeting.

December 5, 2016 1 North District Advisory Committee Report No. 3-2016

NORTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 3-2016

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: November 15, 2016 The North District Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2017/2018 Budget Development

Chris Broughton, Chair of the Finance/Personnel Committee was in attendance to provide the committee with an overview of the 2017/2018 Draft Budget. The Committee was informed that the Board developed the Budget in support of Winnipeg School Division Strategic Plan.

The Committee received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million.

The Committee was informed that the two major sources of funding are the Province of Manitoba and the property tax levy. In the most recent budget, provincial funding provided only 62% of the total revenue required to balance the WSD budget. The second major source of funding is from property taxation which provided an additional 36% of the total revenue. The remaining 2% is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use WSD resources.

Education is service based and the majority of the annual budget, or 81%, goes directly to the cost of providing instruction and supports in the classroom. Another 19% covers costs such as student transportation, building maintenance and operations, business administration and support services related to research, planning and technology.

The Committee received a survey to facilitate discussions on the 2017/2018 Budget.

The Committee expressed concern on the question related to assisting children with special needs and encouraged the Board to reconsider the wording. The Committee felt that the question should be reworded to create a better understanding of how important it is to assist children with special needs in light of decreased provincial funding. The Committee was informed that the survey is used as an advocacy tool that has always provided results showing the importance of all our programs and services and it is not the intent that the survey be perceived that the Board is considering cutting funds/support to Special Education. The Committee was informed that the results are compiled and utilized to guide the Board in the development of the Budget. Page 22 of 192

December 5, 2016 2 North District Advisory Committee Report No. 3-2016

In response to an enquiry, Trustee Broughton informed the Committee that funding to support Indigenous Education includes Indigenous focused programs, heritage language programs and the placement of an additional elder. The Committee was informed that the province provides a major source of funding for the Aboriginal Academic Achievement program and these funds are utilized to support the Aboriginal Youth Leadership program, Indigenous education and literacy.

The Committee expressed concern on the expansion of the full day kindergarten pilot program without sufficient research on whether the program is beneficial to children. The Committee requested that funding for the full day kindergarten be utilized in other areas. The Committee was informed that members of the Board find a significant value in providing the full day kindergarten program and felt the benefits outweigh the financial costs of the program.

The Committee expressed concern on the reduction of the milk subsidy. The Committee was informed that the milk fee increased to $0.25 this school year. The increase to the price of milk will help to offset the actual cost to the Division. The Committee was informed that the estimated savings for the Division is approximately $300,000.

The Committee discussed the importance of maintaining programs and services such as Community Support Workers and breakfast programs.

TheCommittee discussed the need for increased transportation services to community access programs. The Committee was in support of a WSD sustainability conference for students and implementing a swim program if financially feasible.

The Committee discussed the importance of continuous funding for newcomers to the Division and stressed the importance that the Board continue advocating all levels of government for additional funding.

The Committee indicated parents and communities are continually fundraising for schools. The Committee was informed that the Board is undertaking an Equity Survey to be completed annually by schools to determine fees collected for supplies, field trips, and sports. Schools are also requested to identify the funds collected from fundraising events. The report will help to identify inequality of funds throughout the Division and identify schools with a greater need for additional funding.

The Committee expressed concern that property taxes are increasing. The Committee was informed that the Division faces further challenges as downtown growth is promoted while businesses receive a break in property taxes resulting in less money collected through property taxation for the WSD.

The Committee was informed that in addition to Budget presentations at District Advisory Committee meetings additional information is available on the Division’s website including a Budget tool and property tax calculator. A Public meeting will also be held on February 27, 2017 at Administration Building No. 1, 1577 Wall Street East at 7:00 p.m. to provide information to the public and receive feedback from individuals or groups that may wish to attend. A survey is posted on the Division’s website www.winnipegsd.ca. Committee members were advised that the members of the Board are interested in receiving pre budget feedback.

INNER CITY DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 2-2016

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: November 16, 2016

The Inner City District Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2017/2018 Budget Development

Chris Broughton, Chair of the Finance/Personnel Committee was in attendance to provide committee members with an overview of the 2017/2018 Draft Budget. The Committee was informed that the Board developed the Budget in support of Winnipeg School Division Strategic Plan.

The Committee received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million.

The Committee reviewed the current Budget under the following categories regular instruction, student support services, community education and services, instructional and support services, administration, student transportation, operations and maintenance and fiscal and capital expenditures.

The Committee was informed that the two major sources of funding are the Province of Manitoba and the property tax levy. In the most recent budget, provincial funding provided only 62% of the total revenue required to balance the Winnipeg School Division budget. The second major source of funding is from revenue property taxation which provides an additional 36% of the total revenue. The remaining two percent is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use Winnipeg School Division resources.

December 5, 2016 2 Inner City District Advisory Committee Report No. 2-2016

The Committee discussed the unique and various programs offered in the Winnipeg School Division that challenges and engages our students to improve learning outcomes such as Sistema, Biomedical Youth, Young Scientists Program, Quantum Arts and the Inner City Science Program.

The Committee provided feedback in favor of offering lunch programs in schools, after school programming, additional performing arts programs, extending milk subsidy to junior high schools, up to date technology in classrooms and transportation to all students in the Division.

Trustee Broughton informed Committee members on possible cost savings measures for transportation services including hub/shuttle services as a way to control costs and improve efficiency. As part of the 2015/2016 budget development process, administration explored the implications of congregated/community stops. This approach would require students to walk to a local school or designated community bus stop to be picked-up by the bus that would transport them to the school they attend. The Division seen a cost savings of approximately $300,000 as a result of three schools piloting staggered start times. Trustee Broughton informed Committee members that the Winnipeg School Division does not have the resources available at this time to extend busing to include higher grades. The Committee was informed that administrators are reviewing options such as walking school buses, or the placement of an adult crossing guard where appropriate as a cost saving measure.

Trustee Broughton informed Committee members that the Board has invested in technology including additional learning resources, e-books and infrastructure to support technology.

The Committee indicated support and expressed appreciation on the variety of programs the Winnipeg School Division currently provides such as the nursery program, grad coaches, special education programming and supports, milk subsidy, and breakfast programs.

2. Families and Schools Together (F&ST) Presentation

The Committee received a presentation by Christine Turnbull of Families and Schools Together. Families and Schools Together helps children thrive by building stronger, more supportive relationships at home. Built on evidence-based practices and rigorously tested, F&ST consistently produces statistically significant improvements in children’s behavior, emotional well-being and academic performance while building social capital among families, schools and communities.

December 5, 2016 2 South District Advisory Committee Report No. 2-2016

The Committee expressed concern over the value of full day kindergarten. The Committee questioned the benefits of the program as statistical evidence indicates there is no improvement in skills shown after grade three compared to students who did not attend full day kindergarten. The Committee suggested that it would be beneficial to focus energy and money on other aspects of learning.

In response to an enquiry from a parent representative, the Committee was informed that the Division spends over $80 million on special needs students, while provincial funding is approximately $18 million. The Committee was informed that the Board recently approved a recommendation to provide improved access to educational and health supports to students on the autism spectrum and identify improvements in inclusive classroom settings, conduct a needs assessment for enhancing assistive technologies to support students with autism in the classroom and review the possibility of offering a low enrolment autism centre in a school where a full day Kindergarten program is provided for students. The WSD prides itself in providing a safe and supported learning environment that is accessible to every child.

In response to an enquiry from a parent representative, the Committee was informed that property located near Harrow School was purchased by the Province to build a child care facility. The Committee expressed concern that property is being utilized that could be beneficial to alleviate student enrolment in the future.

The Committee expressed concern on the overuse of paper in the Division. The Committee encouraged administration buildings and schools to be consistent in using electronic communication to reduce costs and improve sustainability. The Committee was informed that correspondence involving fundraising is required to be distributed on paper due to anti- spam legislation, as well the Committee was reminded that the Division has a vast community that vary in technology abilities and may not necessarily have access to the tools that would enable electronic communication.

The Committee supported possible cost saving alternatives to Division transportation such as congregated/community stops. This approach would require students to walk to a local school or designated community bus stop to be picked-up by the bus that would transport them to the school they attend. The Committee was informed of implications that will need to be further researched by administration as well as gathering feedback from parents and the community. The Committee expressed a desire to see division transportation broadened to include other modes of transportation such as walking school bus. The Committee was informed that the Division is reviewing the possibility of a walking school bus program.

The Committee supported initiatives that would enhance regular instruction.

The Committee supported receiving “Our Schools” newspaper through a subscription, therefore reducing the number of “Our Schools” printed and distributed to schools.

The Committee was informed that in addition to Budget presentations at District Advisory Committee meetings additional information is available on the Division’s website including a Budget tool and property tax calculator. A Public meeting will also be held on February 27, 2017 at Administration Building No. 1, 1577 Wall Street East at 7:00 p.m. to provide information to the public and receive feedback from individuals or groups that may wish to attend. A survey is posted on the Division’s website www.winnipegsd.ca. Committee members were advised that the members of the Board are interested in receiving pre budget feedback.

FRENCH IMMERSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 2-2016

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: November 30, 2016

The French Immersion Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2017/2018 Budget Development

The Committee received a video presentation on the 2017/2018 Draft Budget. The Committee was informed that the Board developed the Budget in support of Winnipeg School Division Strategic Plan. The Committee was informed that the Budget was developed on the following Strategic Priorities: providing a robust and comprehensive education for students; improving learning outcomes; addressing barriers to learning; retaining and attracting valued staff; communicating and partnering with our communities; strengthening and enhancing sustainable development and managing tax dollars responsibly. The Committee received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million. The Committee reviewed the current Budget under the following categories regular instruction, student support services, community education and services, instructional and support services, administration, student transportation, operations and maintenance and fiscal and capital expenditures.

The Committee was informed that the two major sources of funding are the Province of Manitoba and the property tax levy. In the most recent budget, provincial funding provided only 62% of the total revenue required to balance the Winnipeg School Division budget. The second major source of funding is from revenue property taxation which provides an additional 36% of the total revenue. The remaining two percent is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use Winnipeg School Division resources.

December 5, 2016 2 French Immersion Advisory Committee Report No. 2-2016 Trustee Wasyliw informed the Committee that the Board continues advocating all levels of government for additional funding.

In response to an enquiry, the Committee was informed that the Division supports French Language programs and is working hard to recruit teachers specialized in the French language. Staff attend recruitment seminars to assist in recruiting teachers who are fluent in both languages. The demand is high to find teachers who are strong in both standard French and English.

In response to an enquiry, the Committee was informed that the Winnipeg School Division owns its our own fleet of school buses and maintenance yard. Committee members were informed the salaries of bus drivers were re-aligned with industry standard in order to sustain quality employees. The Committee was informed on possible cost savings measures for transportation services including hub/shuttle services as a way to control costs and improve efficiency. As part of the 2015/2016 budget development process, administration explored the implications of congregated/community stops. This approach would require students to walk to a local school or designated community bus stop to be picked-up by the bus that would transport them to the school they attend. The Division seen a cost savings of approximately $300,000 as a result of three schools piloting staggered start times. Trustee Wasyliw informed Committee members that the WSD does not have the resources available at this time to extend busing to include higher grades. The Committee was informed that administrators are reviewing options such as walking school buses, or the placement of an adult crossing guard where appropriate as a cost saving measure.

Trustee Wasyliw informed the Committee that the Division is committed to providing programs and services to improve student success and eliminate barriers to learning.

In response to an enquiry, the Committee was informed that in 2001 the number of school divisions in Manitoba was reduced from 54 to 37 by merging certain divisions and creating new division boundaries. The Committee was informed that costs actually increased due to standardizing salaries and programs and services.

The Committee discussed the possibility of schools fundraising alongside other schools that may not have had great success in fundraising efforts in the past.

In response to an enquiry, the Committee was informed that the school breakfast programs are funded by Healthy Child Manitoba and the Division.

The Committee supported the idea of having a full day language program integrated into a full day Kindergarten. The Committee was informed that the staffing shortage plays a part in accommodating a full day language program in Kindergarten. Page 44 of 192

December 5, 2016 3 French Immersion Advisory Committee Report No. 2-2016 The Committee discussed the new developments being built around the city and whether the increase from those taxes assist the school division. Trustee Wasyliw informed the Committee that the Division faces further challenges as downtown growth is promoted, as businesses receive a break in property taxes under the Tax Increment Funding Act, where the Division may not see an increase in property taxes for up to 25 years.

The Committee expressed an interest in additional milieu schools and enquired if a new Language Advisory Committee will be created to include other languages provided in the Winnipeg School Division.

In response to an enquiry, Trustee Wasyliw informed the Committee that a proposal has been submitted to the Board to add a swim to survive program in schools. Reports show there are a certain high risk groups in our society who have a greater chance of drowning. New comers are four times more likely to be unable to swim then those born in Canada.

THE WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION

TO: The Chair and Members December 5, 2016 Winnipeg Public School Board

FROM: P.E. Clarke Chief Superintendent NEW BUSINESS

RE: RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE POLICY

The following Notice of Motion is being presented by Trustee Wasyliw:

c) That the draft policy be referred to the Policy/Program Committee, the District Advisory Committees and all staff for feedback.

Rationale:

Many of the most enjoyable activities during a school year are the activities that have the most positive impact on student engagement, including school sports, arts, extra-curricular clubs and trips. Many of these programs are not seen as “core” programming but as enrichment. As such WSD schools are charging and increasingly relying on private fees instead of public money to fund these activities. The WSD currently is unaware as to the extent and nature of all the extra fees being charged to its students.

These “enrichment” or student engagement activities have become a routine and expected part of the school community. These are the activities that make school meaningful and enjoyable to many of our students. However, not all students can afford to pay the extra fees. This has the potential effect of preventing some students from fully participating in the school life at the WSD.

The WSD does not have any formal policy or guideline governing the charging of extra fees and the participation of students in extra-curricular activities. It is time the WSD develop a policy that would ensure that no student is excluded from participating in extra-curricular activity based on their inability to pay the fees. Page 53 of 192

FEES FOR LEARNINGMATERIALSAND ACTIVITIES GUIDELINE

Obiectives and Definitions‘ Every student hasthe rightto attend a school, where they are a quali?ed resident pupil, without payment of a fee? In general, there should be no fees charged for day school programs. The costs of materials and activities for elementary and secondary education are provided to schools by the Ministryof Education and should be re?ected in school board operating budgets.

V When schools or school boards’choose with the support of the school community to offer enhanced or optional programming, parents may be asked to contribute resources in the way of time, money or materialsto support these programs or activities. While no student should be excluded from participating in any school activity or event based on the ability to pay, some activities or events may require some recovery of the cost for participation.

Fees may be appropriate in cases where school boards or schools choose to offer enhancements or supplementary learning materials beyond the core curriculum. Where fees are appropriate, they should be minimized as much as possible, with the goal of supporting student participation in programs and activities regardless of individual economic circumstances.

The objectives of this guideline are to: - Identify guiding principles and best practices; o Provide a foundation for school boards to develop or review existing guidelines, policies and procedures with respect to any fees charged to students in the regular day school program; and o Provide examples of appropriate and inappropriate practices.

The best practices and examples provided in this guideline are not intended to be a comprehensive list. The fees discussed in this guideline are fees other than tuition fees for visa students, international students, First Nations students attending pursuant to-a tuition agreement, adult or continuing education students. Nor do they include fees for early learning programs offered outside the regular school day or other before or after school programs.

When schools and boards chooseto charge any fee, it is important to: - Have policies to help ensure that fee charges are consistent with the purposes and principles of public education; ' - Seek advice from school staff, parent involvement committees, Special Education Advisory Committees (SEACs), other advisory committees; school councils, parents, students and the school community;

' - include a goal of full student participation in school programs and activities regardless of

individual economic circumstances; and « - Support and protect staff and volunteers through practices that promote accountability forthe handling and management of the proceeds raised from fees.

‘ On all legal questions relating to the subjects covered in this guideline, boards should rely on the advice of their own legal counsel. This guideline should not be interpreted as expressing any opinionthat a board may charge a fee. 2 in addition, students enrolled by a board who are otherwise quali?ed to attend except as to residence are entitledto attenda regular day school program withoutpayment of fee.

FEES FOR LEARNING MATER|AIeSANDACTIVITIES GUIDELINE

De?nitions

Student Activity Fees Student activity fees are voluntary amounts that are used to supplement a student's school experience through materials and activities such as student agendas, student recognition programs, yearbooks, extracurricular activities, school dances, or theme days.

Enhanced Programming and Materials EnhancedProgramming and materials are voluntary enrichments or upgrades to the curriculum or co-curricular”activities beyond what_isnecessary to meet the learning expectations for a particulargrade or course. For example, in some performance and production courses (for example, music, woodworking), students may wish to use a superior product or consumable than that provided by the school, in which case they may be asked to pay the additional cost of the upgrade.

Where students choosenot to access these enhanced programs or materials, alternatives must be available as essential course materials required to meet the learning expectations of the course or grade are to be provided at no cost.

Optional Programming Optional Programming refers to voluntary courses or activities that students normally choose to attend through an application process, with the knowledge that these programs are beyond the core curriculum. Examples may include Advanced Placement® and HockeyCanada Skills Academy programs.

I. Guiding Principles

With the support of the school community, schools and school boards may wish to offer programming and materials beyond what is necessary to meet the learning expectations of a particular grade or course. In these situations, it may be appropriate to collect a fee to offset the additional costs. The development of a board-wide student fee policy willensure consistency and transparency in the application of fees and should reflect the following principles:

Complementary to Public Education a The purposes for which funds are collected are consistent withthe school board's mission and values.

3 For thepurposes of this guideline, co-curricularactivitiesor materials are de?ned as related to the regular day school program. Extra-curricularactivities are de?ned as outside the regular day school program.

THE WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION

CENTRAL DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, November 9, 2016

1. INTRODUCTIONS

Trustee Chris Broughton Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees welcomed everyone to the first Central District Advisory Committee meeting for the 2016/17 school year. At the Inaugural meeting of the Board held on September 12, 2016, Trustee Kevin Freedman was appointed as the Board’s representative and Trustee Lisa Naylor was appointed as the Board’s alternate representative to this Committee.

2. ELECTION OF COMMITTEE CHAIR

The parent representative from River Elm School volunteered to Chair the Central District Advisory Committee for the 2016/2017 term.

3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA

A New Business Item regarding the Advisory Council on Indigenous Education was added to the agenda for discussion. The Committee members approved the amended Agenda of November 9, 2016.

4. 2017/2018 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT

Committee members were informed that the Budget was developed on the following Strategic Priorities: providing a robust and comprehensive education for students; improving learning outcomes; addressing barriers to learning; retaining and attracting valued staff; communicating and partnering with our communities; strengthening and enhancing sustainable development and managing tax dollars responsibly.

Committee members received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million.

Committee members reviewed the current Budget under the following categories: regular instruction, student support services, community education and services, instructional and support services, administration, student transportation, operations and maintenance and fiscal and capital expenditures.

CENTRAL DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, November 9, 2016 - 2 -

total revenue. The remaining two percent is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use WSD resources.

Committee members were informed that education is service based and the majority of the annual budget, or 81%, goes directly to the cost of providing instruction and supports in the classroom. Another 19% covers costs such as student transportation, building maintenance and operations, business administration and support services related to research, planning and technology.

The 2017/2018 Budget, will continue to focus on improving student success and aligning resources with student needs. The Board is committed to maintaining programs introduced during previous budgets. These include safe school initiatives, language programs, early years education and programs to ensure student success through to graduation. Committee members were informed that the provincial funding announcement is expected from mid-January to mid-February.

Committee members received a survey to facilitate discussion on the Budget and agreed to continue their discussions in small groups. Committee members discussed which programs and services were successful for families and whether there was a need to improve on other programs/services that would contribute to ensure student success.

Committee members expressed concern that staggered bell times may disrupt family routines. Although, the Division spends over $6.5 million each year on Transportation, Committee members were not in support of staggered bell times. Committee members suggested other options be explored, such as a walking school bus program as a cost saving measure. Committee members also suggested that community after school programs could also help save on transportation costs.

A parent representative from Greenway School requested to have more school signs displayed around their school. It was expressed that there is not enough signage to indicate there is a school in the area. Committee members were informed that it is the responsibility of the school to fundraise to purchase signage or reader boards. It was suggested by a Trustee to apply for funds through grants.

Committee members suggested more supports for high schools similar to funding provided to elementary schools. Committee members expressed concern that the funding for supports in high schools is lower and that students require academic and guidance supports in all levels of education. Committee members requested that full-time guidance counsellors be available in all schools to assist students who require additional supports. It would be highly beneficial for students and staff to have someone available to deal with more serious issues. Committee members felt it would be beneficial to offer older student programs in the school that deal with more present issues such as self-esteem and body image. It was suggested that workshops be offered during a school term or offered short- term depending on subject matter and accessible information. As more children are being exposed to the pressures of what they think they should look like on social media and television.

Committee members also discussed whether a full day pilot language program should be offered to students in Kindergarten. Committee members also discussed whether a swimming program could be taught to students as basic safety lessons of the water. Committee members suggested adding a junior high self defense class into the gym curriculum as domestic violence and crime rates in Winnipeg are highest in Canada. Page 107 of 192

CENTRAL DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, November 9, 2016 - 3 -

Committee members also discussed the benefits of the full day Kindergarten program and commented that children are actively learning in the classroom, however questioned the need to expand the pilot.

Committee members expressed their thoughts on adding programs and supports for new immigrant families that could be implemented to help families who may be dealing with trauma or have language barriers that prevents them from learning while at school.

Committee members would like to see more focus on having Enrichment programs available for students. Committee members commented that combined classroom may not benefit students who are in the older grades as teachers are concentrating on the younger students in the classroom.

Committee members suggested that there is a need to have Breakfast programs available to students in all schools especially for those students who arrive early at school. Trustees advised Committee members that a needs assessment would be helpful to determine whether supports are required in some schools.

In response to an enquiry regarding accessibility at some schools, Committee members were informed that the Division is working with the province to address accessibility issues in schools/building however, as funding for building renovations is provided by the province, projects may take time to be approved.

Committee members identified positive programs and services such as Language program, nursery program, working with textbooks and technology in schools, and the different learning styles being explored and offered in schools. The Trustees thanked the committee members for their kind comments of support.

Committee members were informed that in addition to Budget presentations at District Advisory Committee meetings additional information is available on the Division’s website including a Budget tool and property tax calculator. A Public meeting will also be held on February 27, 2017 at Administration Building No. 1, 1577 Wall Street East at 7:00 p.m. to provide information to the public and receive feedback from individuals or groups that may wish to attend. A survey is posted on the Division’s website www.winnipegsd.ca. Committee members were advised that the members of the Board are interested in receiving pre budget feedback.

5. FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS TOGETHER (F&ST) PRESENTATION

CENTRAL DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, November 9, 2016 - 4 -

critical difference in the midst of these challenges by empowering parents, strengthening families and creating social networks that give children the opportunity for fulfilling, productive lives.

Committee members were informed that F&ST program runs one night a week for 8 weeks, providing transportation and meals to participating families. Children, parents and youth are separated into groups for age based activities and instruction based classes. The F&ST program also has a 2 year follow up program called Fast Works where families get together once a month for activities. The F&ST program connects families with primary school administration as well as assists in helping families get connected with community based programs.

Committee members were informed that Families and Schools Together is funded by schools, the province of MB and United Way. The program is offered for all grade levels and activities have been adjusted to meet the needs of the target child’s age. Families and Schools Together programs are run by trained staff, teachers, recreation coordinator, community partners and youth advocates. Each F&ST Team forms a “hub” serving eight to 10 participating F&ST Families. Several F&ST Teams can collaborate to run multiple hubs simultaneously to serve larger populations, such as an entire grade level of children and their families. For more information on the program or to have a presentation please contact Christine Turnbull at Families and Schools Together by email at [email protected] or by phone at 204-947-1401.

THE WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION

NORTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, November 15, 2016

1. INTRODUCTIONS

Trustee Dean Koshelanyk welcomed everyone to the first North District Advisory Committee meeting for the 2016/2017 school year. At the Inaugural meeting of the Board held on September 12, 2016, Trustee Dean Koshelanyk was appointed as the Board’s representative and Trustee Lisa Naylor was appointed as the Board’s alternate representative to this Committee.

2. ELECTION OF COMMITTEE CHAIR

The parent representative from Stanley Knowles School volunteered to Chair the North District Advisory Committee for the 2016/2017 term.

3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA

A New Business item regarding the Advisory Council on Indigenous Education was added to the agenda. The Committee members approved the amended Agenda of November 15, 2016.

4. 2017/2018 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT

Committee members received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million.

Committee members were informed that the two major sources of funding are the Province of Manitoba and the property tax levy. In the most recent budget, provincial funding provided only 62 percent of the total revenue required to balance the WSD budget. The second major source of funding is from property taxation which provided an additional 36 percent of the total revenue. The remaining two percent is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use WSD resources. Page 127 of 192

NORTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, November 15, 2016 - 2 -

Education is service based and the majority of the annual budget, or 81 percent, goes directly to the cost of providing instruction and supports in the classroom. Another 19 percent covers costs such as student transportation, building maintenance and operations, business administration and support services related to research, planning and technology.

The 2017/2018 Budget, will continue to focus on improving student success and aligning resources with student needs. The Board is committed to maintaining programs introduced during previous budgets. These include safe school initiatives, language programs, early years education and programs to ensure student success through to graduation. Committee members were informed that the provincial funding announcement is expected from mid- January to mid-February.

Committee members received a survey to facilitate discussions on the 2017/2018 Budget.

Committee members expressed concern on the question related to assisting children with special needs and encouraged the Board to reconsider the wording. Committee members felt that the question should be reworded to create a better understanding of how important it is to assist children with special needs in light of decreased provincial funding. Committee members were informed that the survey is used as an advocacy tool that has always provided results showing the importance of all our programs and services and it is not the intent that the survey be perceived that the Board is considering cutting funds/support to Special Education. Committee members were informed that the results are compiled and utilized to guide the Board in the development of the Budget.

In response to an enquiry, Trustee Broughton informed Committee members that funding to support Indigenous Education includes Indigenous focused programs, heritage language programs and the placement of an additional elder. Committee members were informed that the province provides a major source of funding for the Aboriginal Academic Achievement program and these funds are utilized to support the Aboriginal Youth Leadership program, Indigenous education and literacy.

Committee members expressed concern on the expansion of the full day kindergarten pilot program without sufficient research on whether the program is beneficial to children. Committee members requested that funding for the full day kindergarten be utilized in other areas. Committee members were informed that members of the Board find a significant value in providing the full day kindergarten program and felt the benefits outweigh the financial costs of the program.

Committee members expressed concern on the reduction of the milk subsidy. Committee members were informed that the milk fee increased to $0.25 this school year. The increase to the price of milk will help to offset the actual cost to the Division. Committee members were informed that the estimated savings for the Division is approximately $300,000.

Committee members discussed the importance of maintaining programs and services such as Community Support Workers and breakfast programs.

Committee members discussed the need for increased transportation services to community access programs. Committee members were in support of a WSD sustainability conference for students and implementing a swim program if financially feasible. Page 128 of 192

NORTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, November 15, 2016 - 3 -

Committee members discussed the importance of continuous funding for newcomers to the Division and stressed the importance that the Board continue advocating all levels of government for additional funding. Committee members indicated parents and communities are continually fundraising for schools. Committee members were informed that the Board is undertaking an Equity Survey to be completed annually by schools to determine fees collected for supplies, field trips, and sports. Schools are also requested to identify the funds collected from fundraising events. The report will help to identify inequality of funds throughout the Division and identify schools with a greater need for additional funding. Committee members expressed concern that property taxes are increasing. Committee members were informed that the Division faces further challenges as downtown growth is promoted while businesses receive a break in property taxes resulting in less money collected through property taxation for the WSD. Committee members were informed that in addition to Budget presentations at District Advisory Committee meetings additional information is available on the Division’s website including a Budget tool and property tax calculator. A Public meeting will also be held on February 27, 2017 at Administration Building No. 1, 1577 Wall Street East at 7:00 p.m. to provide information to the public and receive feedback from individuals or groups that may wish to attend. A survey is posted on the Division’s website www.winnipegsd.ca. Committee members were advised that the members of the Board are interested in receiving pre budget feedback.

5. FAMILES AND SCHOOLS TOGETHER (F&ST)

Committee members received a presentation by Christine Turnbull of Families and Schools Together. Families and Schools Together helps children thrive by building stronger, more supportive relationships at home. Built on evidence-based practices and rigorously tested, F&ST consistently produces statistically significant improvements in children’s behavior, emotional well-being and academic performance while building social capital among families, schools and communities. Families and Schools Together, Inc. exists to make a critical difference in the midst of these challenges by empowering parents, strengthening families and creating social networks that give children the opportunity for fulfilling, productive lives. Committee members were informed that the F&ST program runs one night a week for 8 weeks, providing transportation and meals to participating families. Children, parents and youth are separated into groups for age based activities and instruction based classes. The F&ST program also has a 2 year follow up program called Fast Works where families get together once a month for activities. The F&ST program connects families with primary school administration as well as assists in helping families get connected with community based programs. Committee members were informed that Families and Schools Together is funded by schools, the Province of MB and United Way. The program is offered for all grade levels and activities have been adjusted to meet the needs of the target child’s age. Families and Schools Together programs are run by trained staff, teachers, recreation coordinator, community partners and youth advocates. Each F&ST Team forms a “hub” serving eight to 10 participating F&ST Families. Several F&ST Teams can collaborate to run multiple hubs simultaneously to serve larger populations, such as an entire grade level of children and their families. For more information on the program or to have a presentation please contact Christine Turnbull at Families and Schools Together by email at [email protected] or by phone at 204- 947-1401.

School Report November 16, 2016

Our school community is now well into our learning this school year and we are in the process of preparing for our student parent teacher conference for Thursday, November 17th from 5:30 to 7:30 and Friday, November18tha. rn. and p. m. with a pause at lunch for our staff. On behalf of our school community, we welcome to Hugh John Macdonald School's community the following practicum students Nikeesha Williams, Bradley Spariing, Alison Jonk, Alexander Braun, Anna Currie, Katie De Roo, Laura Carroll, Mona Friesen, Catherine Nguyen and Sean Fitzmaurice. Our 10 University of Winnipeg teacher candidates who have joined our school for their practicum training. Joining us as well are our four conflict mediator trainees Michael Julien, Kristin Jacobson, Julie Letkeman and Brooke Evans from Menno Simons College. As well, we have two new educational assistants Michelle Howarth and Kerry Hebert joining our LAL (Literacy Academic Language Centre.) Many of our newly arrived staff are arriving at a time when we are finishing the first quarter of the school year. During this time, there were a number of highlights for students teaming. On the literacy front, all our grade 8 and 9 students were able to participate in the Thin Air Writer's Conference through dialogues and conversations with Richard Van Camp, an Indigenous author. Our grade 9 students also received the opportunity to welcome and listen to Chief Bear from Broken- head First Nation bring greetings and introduce Cilau Bau who shared her parents' story as a holocaust survivor. In the area of numeracy learning, all our math teachers are working hard to advance our students learning in both automaticity and conceptual understanding of math through both daily math practices and problem solving opportunities. This math is in alignment with the work being done at all our elementary sending schools. On the athletics front, we finished our cross country season with a number of students participating wholeheartedly. One of our grade 9 student consistently finished in the top 5 in her races. Volleyball season is at the midway point with grade 7 & 8 teams for both girls and boys as well as a grade 9 girls team.

As we prepare to have a good finish to our learning prior to our Winter/Christmas break, we are inviting our parents and caregivers to our community turkey feast scheduled for Wednesday, December 21st starting at lunch. Further details will be sent home in a special invitation with your child. Please set aside this time, if you are able, to join us in celebrating together as school community. In addition, please find attached short descriptions regarding some of the learning for each of our four teams during the initial start to the school year. Thank you. Q^L^-

THE WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION

SOUTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, November 22, 2016

1. INTRODUCTIONS

Trustee Chris Broughton, Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees welcomed everyone to the first South District Advisory Committee meeting for the 2016/2017 school year. At the Inaugural meeting of the Board held on September 12, 2016, Trustee Chris Broughton was appointed as the Board’s representative and Trustee Mark Wasyliw was appointed as the Board’s alternate representative to this Committee.

2. ELECTION OF COMMITTEE CHAIR

The parent representative from École Riverview School volunteered to Chair the South District Advisory Committee for the 2016/2017 term.

3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA

A New Business item regarding the Advisory Council on Indigenous Education was added to the agenda. The Committee members approved the amended Agenda of November 22, 2016.

4. 2017/2018 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT

Committee members received an overview on the 2016/2017 Budget expenditures which totaled $396 million.

Committee members were informed that the two major sources of funding are the Province of Manitoba and the property tax levy. In the most recent budget, provincial funding provided only 62% of the total revenue required to balance the WSD budget. The second major source of funding is from property taxation which provided an additional 36% of the total revenue. The remaining 2% is revenue from other sources such as the federal government, First Nations authorities and other school divisions who use WSD resources. Page 169 of 192

SOUTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, November 22, 2016 - 2 -

The 2017/2018 Budget, will continue to focus on improving student success and aligning resources with student needs. The Board is committed to maintaining programs introduced during previous budgets. These include safe school initiatives, language programs, early years education and programs to ensure student success through to graduation. The provincial funding announcement is expected from mid-January to mid-February.

Committee members received a survey to facilitate discussions on the 2017/2018 Budget.

Committee members expressed concern over the value of full day kindergarten. Committee members questioned the benefits of the program as statistical evidence indicates there is no improvement in skills shown after grade three compared to students who did not attend full day kindergarten. Committee members suggested that it would be beneficial to focus energy and money on other aspects of learning.

In response to an enquiry from a parent representative, Committee members were informed that the Division spends over $80 million on special needs students, while provincial funding is approximately $18 million. The Committee was informed that the Board recently approved a recommendation to provide improved access to educational and health supports to students on the autism spectrum and identify improvements in inclusive classroom settings, conduct a needs assessment for enhancing assistive technologies to support students with autism in the classroom and review the possibility of offering a low enrolment autism centre in a school where a full day Kindergarten program is provided for students. The WSD prides itself in providing a safe and supported learning environment that is accessible to every child.

In response to an enquiry from a parent representative, Committee members were informed that property located near Harrow School was purchased by the Province to build a child care facility. Committee members expressed concern that property is being utilized that could be beneficial to alleviate student enrolment in the future.

Committee members expressed concern on the overuse of paper in the Division. Committee members encouraged administration buildings and schools to be consistent in using electronic communication to reduce costs and improve sustainability. Committee members were informed that correspondence involving fundraising is required to be distributed on paper due to anti-spam legislation, as well Committee members were reminded that the Division has a vast community that vary in technology abilities and may not necessarily have access to the tools that would enable electronic communication.

Committee members supported possible cost saving alternatives to Division transportation such as congregated/community stops. This approach would require students to walk to a local school or designated community bus stop to be picked-up by the bus that would transport them to the school they attend. Committee members were informed of implications that will need to be further researched by administration as well as gathering feedback from parents and the community. Committee members expressed a desire to see division transportation broadened to include other modes of transportation such as walking school bus. Committee members were informed that the Division is reviewing the possibility of a walking school bus program. Page 170 of 192

SOUTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, November 22, 2016 - 3 -

Committee members supported initiatives that would enhance regular instruction.

Committee members supported receiving “Our Schools” newspaper through a subscription, therefore reducing the number of “Our Schools” printed and distributed to schools.

5. FAMILES AND SCHOOLS TOGETHER (F&ST)

Committee members were informed that FAST program runs one night a week for 8 weeks, providing transportation and meals to participating families. Children, parents and youth are separated into groups for age based activities and instruction based classes. The FAST program also has a 2 year follow up program called Fast Works where families get together once a month for activities. The FAST program connects families with primary school administration as well as assists in helping families get connected with community based programs.

Committee members were informed that Families and Schools Together is funded by schools, the Province of MB and United Way. The program is offered for all grade levels and activities have been adjusted to meet the needs of the target child’s age. Families and Schools Together programs are run by trained staff, teachers, recreation coordinator, community partners and youth advocates. Each FAST Team forms a “hub” serving eight to 10 participating FAST Families. Several FAST Teams can collaborate to run multiple hubs simultaneously to serve larger populations, such as an entire grade level of children and their families. For more information on the program or to have a presentation please contact Christine Turnbull at Families and Schools Together by email at [email protected] or by phone at 204-947-1401.

Piayground Update

Our new play structure is ready for the kids! On November 8th, the fences came down around the new obstacle course ^ structure. This is part of phase 2 of the Playground Enhancement Project, and also includes additional benches and shade trees.

There is also a buddy bench that we are very excited about. For those unfamiliar, the buddy bench idea has been around for some time in Europe, and has exploded in popularity in North America over the last few years. The idea is that children who are looking for playmates can sit on the bench as a signal that they would like someone to come and play with them. Page 176 of 192

FRENCH IMMERSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, November 30, 2016 - 2 -

The 2017/2018 Budget, will continue to focus on improving student success and aligning resources with student needs. The Board is committed to maintaining programs introduced during previous budgets. These include safe school initiatives, language programs, early years education and programs to ensure student success through to graduation. Committee members were informed that the provincial funding announcement is expected from mid-January to mid-February.

Trustee Wasyliw informed Committee members that the Board continues advocating all levels of government for additional funding.

In response to an enquiry, Committee members were informed that the Division supports French Language programs and is working hard to recruit teachers specialized in the French language. Staff attend recruitment seminars to assist in recruiting teachers who are fluent in both languages. The demand is high to find teachers who are strong in both standard French and English.

In response to an enquiry, Committee members were informed that the Winnipeg School Division owns its our own fleet of school buses and maintenance yard. Committee members were informed the salaries of bus drivers were re-aligned with industry standard in order to sustain quality employees. Committee members were informed on possible cost savings measures for transportation services including hub/shuttle services as a way to control costs and improve efficiency. As part of the 2015/2016 budget development process, administration explored the implications of congregated/community stops. This approach would require students to walk to a local school or designated community bus stop to be picked-up by the bus that would transport them to the school they attend. The Division seen a cost savings of approximately $300,000 as a result of three schools piloting staggered start times. Trustee Wasyliw informed Committee members that the WSD does not have the resources available at this time to extend busing to include higher grades. Committee members were informed that administrators are reviewing options such as walking school buses, or the placement of an adult crossing guard where appropriate as a cost saving measure.

Trustee Wasyliw informed Committee members that the Division is committed to providing programs and services to improve student success and eliminate barriers to learning.

In response to an enquiry, Committee members were informed that in 2001 the number of school divisions in Manitoba was reduced from 54 to 37 by merging certain divisions and creating new division boundaries. Committee members were informed that costs actually increased due to standardizing salaries and programs and services.

Committee members also discussed the possibility of schools fundraising alongside other schools that may not have had great success in fundraising efforts in the past.

In response to an enquiry, Committee members were informed that the school breakfast programs are funded by Healthy Child Manitoba and the Division. Page 187 of 192

FRENCH IMMERSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, November 30, 2016 - 3 -

Committee members supported the idea of having a full day language program integrated into a full day Kindergarten. Committee members were informed that the staffing shortage plays a part in accommodating a full day language program in Kindergarten.

Committee members discussed the new developments being built around the city and whether the increase from those taxes assist the school division. Trustee Wasyliw informed Committee members that the Division faces further challenges as downtown growth is promoted, as businesses receive a break in property taxes under the Tax Increment Funding Act, where the Division may not see an increase in property taxes for up to 25 years.

Committee members expressed an interest in additional milieu schools and enquired if a new Language Advisory Committee will be created to include other languages provided in the Winnipeg School Division.

In response to an enquiry, Trustee Wasyliw informed Committee members that a proposal has been submitted to the Board to add a swim to survive program in schools. Reports show there are a certain high risk groups in our society who have a greater chance of drowning. New comers are four times more likely to be unable to swim then those born in Canada.
