Minutes of Meetings 2.1 Regular Meeting – April 19, 2005 Motion: to accept the minutes of the April 19, 2005 Meeting as circulated. (Cutler/Andrews). Carried Mr. Clar Brown questioned the capital request for an elevator lift for Baie Verte High. Initially it was $50,000, but this amount would not cover the necessary renovations. Mr. Brown questioned if it were possible to move the elevator lift from Baie Verte Middle to Baie Verte High. Shawn Brace will investigate this possibility. 3. Business Arising 3.1 Triton Meetings Mr. Edison, Mr. T. Brown, Mr. Sceviour, Mr. McCormack and Ms. Hewlett attended meetings in the Triton area. There was an issue re the present bussing in the area. This issue is presently being investigated. The meetings were well attended and the people of the area had opportunity to share their concerns. 3.2 Carmanville/Eastport Construction The two schools under construction will not be ready in September. It is anticipated that the school in Eastport will not be ready until January 2006. The Anglican Minister has been contacted in Eastport and they are willing to have the school housed in their building until the new school is ready for occupancy. The contract for the Carmanville School Complex was awarded about two weeks ago. There is some concern about when this school will be available for occupancy. It was hoped the school would be ready by January 2006 but the contractor is raising concern about this date. Parents have been notified that the date of opening for this school will not be September. There is a commitment from the Deputy Minister for extra teaching staff for Gill Memorial because the students from the Ladle Cove area will have to attend Gill Memorial for the 2005-2006 school year because the school in Carmanville is behind schedule. 3.3 Reaction to 5-year Restructuring Plan Mr. McCormack reviewed the reaction to the Restructuring Plan. Bishop’s Falls There is a parent group formed in Bishop’s Falls. This group is well organized and will be protesting in front of the Regional Office in Grand Falls-Windsor each Friday at 1:00 PM. There was a meeting in Bishop’s Falls last week. Mr. McCormack spoke with Jody Fancy about this meeting and expressed to her the concern of the conduct of some people there. There will be a public meeting in Bishop’s Falls. The tentative date for this meeting is May 25 or 26. This will be an important meeting for the town. The mayor has communicated his concerns to Mr. Mercer. At this meeting it will be important to communicate what the system will look like if the K-12 students remain in Bishop’s Falls. Ms. Andrews had a call from parents who supported the restructuring. These parents are questioning when they will get an opportunity to express their views. Mr. T. Brown was requested to go to the demonstration at the Regional Office on May 6, 2005. He went and spoke to the group. At this demonstration he was presented with a petition. Mr. Brown presented the petition to Mr. Sceviour. There was a letter received today from the parent group. This letter was circulated. Charlottetown There has been a petition presented against the closure of the school in Charlottetown. Mr. McCormack attended a meeting in Charlottetown. Some parents were in favor of the restructuring. The concern presented was having only one teacher in the building with the children and if there should be an emergency what would happen. This concern has been expressed by other schools with only one teacher in the building as well. Greenspond Mr. McCormack attended a meeting in Greenspond. There was a concern about closing down the school completely. Mr. McCormack reassured the people of Greenspond that for the next 5 years they have a school. Bullying on the school bus was a concern expressed to him. He spoke to Mr. Don Sturge, Principal of Lester Pearson Memorial High, and he has agreed to attend a public meeting in Greenspond to address the bullying issue. Mr. McCormack is in the process of having this bullying concern investigated. Grand Falls-Windsor Mr. T. Brown and Mr. Mercer attended a meeting in April at Grenfell Intermediate. At this meeting concern was expressed about the number of transitions for the present grade 7, 8 and 9 students. The mayor of Grand Falls-Windsor has contacted the Board to discuss the restructuring plan. The Town would like to coordinate its work around the schools where possible with the school board. Leading Tickles The parents in Leading Tickles have requested a meeting with the School Board to discuss the restructuring planned for their school. This meeting will be held at a later date. Eastport The parents in Eastport have written letters requesting a meeting with the School Board. A meeting with these parents will be held at a later date. Eastport’s restructuring is not planned for September 2005. Lewisporte Mr. Sceviour has attended meetings in Lewisporte. The plan for Lewisporte is progressing as outlined in the Restructuring Plan. Twillingate Mr. McCormack has had a call from Mr. Derrick Dalley, Principal of J. M. Olds Collegiate in Twillingate with a request to have the restructuring planned for Twillingate progress at a faster rate if possible. Musgrave Harbour There have been concerns expressed about moving the high school students from Musgrave Harbour to Carmanville. Burlington The School Board has received a letter requesting that there be a meeting in Burlington to discuss the restructuring planned for M. W. Jeans Academy in Burlington. Baie Verte In Baie Verte everything is proceeding for September. There has been some concern expressed about the teacher loss to the Baie Verte System. The people of the Baie Verte area are anxious to secure a new school for the area. Botwood Ms. Andrews attended a meeting in Botwood. A major concern expressed to her was the loss of 3.25 teaching units. The feeling expressed to Ms. Andrews was that this loss will have a negative impact on learning in the Botwood School System. Another concern expressed to her at the meeting was the amount of secretarial support that the schools would have in September 2005. Ms. Andrews also relayed the concern expressed to her of the number of letters that had been sent to Mr. Mercer and they were still awaiting replies. There is a meeting planned for Thursday May 10, 2005 with the three school councils in Botwood. Mr. McCormack, Ms. Hewlett and Ms. Andrews will attend this meeting. Mr. McCormack requested that this meeting begin at 6:30 PM. Springdale Mr. Edison expressed concern over the information that he was requesting and was not able to obtain. A Chair of a School Council in Springdale approached Mr. Edison for information regarding schools in Springdale. Mr. Edison e-mailed Mr. Sceviour requesting this information approximately two weeks prior to the Board meeting. Mr. Edison was awaiting a reply from Mr. Sceviour. Mr. Sceviour informed Mr. Edison that he wanted to discuss with the trustees what type of information should be released to school councils especially since some reports are often of a technical nature and would need interpretation by a professional. Mr. McCormack informed the trustees that there is no problem with sending out information. However, sometimes the information requested is not readily available and we don’t have the human resources to respond to some requests in a timely fashion. There may be times when we can’t provide the information requested. Should that be the case, this should be communicated to those requesting the information. 3.4 NLSBA Update Mr. Sceviour attended a meeting at Lakewood Academy, Glenwood where Prime Minister Martin announced a new funding program. Mr. Sceviour also attended the Enterprise Fair in Lewisporte. The NLSBA AGM will be held in Gander at the Albatross on June 3 and 4. The constitution is in the process of being developed. There will be 5 voting members per Board. The Chair of the new NLSBA does not have to be the chair of their respective Board. All Boards have paid Association fees to date. There was a meeting on May 4th but Mr. Sceviour was not able to attend. Any trustee who would like to attend is eligible. The information re the AGM was circulated. Terry Brown, Clar Brown, Carolyn Andrews, Linda Cutler and Gerald Hounsell indicated they would be attending and would be the voting members representing Nova Central. Other trustees indicated that they would possibly be attending as well. 4. Reports 4.1 Finance-Property Committee Update The Finance/Property Committee has not met since the last board meeting, however, there are two issues that require attention.

  • Bishops Falls ICSP

    Bishops Falls ICSP

    Town Name: Bishop’s Falls Type of ICSP: Stand Alone Created by: Town Council Projected Length of Plan: 5 years Community Profile A $7 million economic diversification fund was awarded to the community following the railway closure to assist in rebuilding the economy. The Bishop’s Falls Development Corporation was established to manage the fund and to attract new businesses to the Town, which decided to pursue manufacturing as a strategic sector. Sixteen years later, in 2004, the BFDC closed because the diversification fund had become exhausted. Community Assessment Economic Sustainability It is obvious that a large majority of residents are working full-time in Grand Falls- Windsor. Employment outside of NL is also a contributor to the Bishop’s Falls economy. Approximately 23% of those above the age of 18 are unemployed. There are roughly 70 businesses in Bishop’s Falls representing a broad base of sectors (manufacturing, transportation, construction, retail, services, restaurants, etc), 70% of which operate on a year round basis. Sixty percent of the respondents established their businesses after 1991. Governance Sustainability The town has a committed council and has voting privileges on the Exploits Regional Services Board, Exploits Valley Economic Development Corporation, and the Exploits Valley Joint Council. The town currently holds membership status with the Exploits Valley Tourism Association, Exploits Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Central Newfoundland Waste Management Committee. Cultural/Community Sustainability The communityof Bishop’s Falls has become apathetic – this message resounded during almost every consultation session. There is an important point to be made here – although the sectors are being addressed as separate areas, they are interdependent and interconnected with each other.

  • Evaluation of the Alternative Suspension Program

    Evaluation of the Alternative Suspension Program

    Evaluation of the Alternative Suspension Program by Danièle Laliberté RESEARCH REPORT: 2017–R008 RESEARCH DIVISION www.publicsafety.gc.ca Abstract The Alternative Suspension (AS) program, which aims to reduce criminal activity by increasing youth attachment to school, was evaluated. The evaluation sites were in Chilliwack (British Columbia), North/West Edmonton (Alberta), and Moncton (New Brunswick). The target group consisted of students 12 to 17 years old, who were experiencing difficulties in their academic and social life, and had been suspended or at risk of being suspended. A pre-post design with a non- equivalent control group was used. The evaluators collected data and also used school data and data collected by the implementation agency. Youth who were more likely to experience better behavioural outcomes had been referred to AS for substance use (29 times more likely), criminal behaviour (14 times more), or physical or verbal violence (12 times more). At the end of the school year, 75.2% of completers and 56.3% of the control group had at least one positive outcome. Overall 45.0% of AS completers successfully finished all their courses; 44.1% of these youth, and 28.8% of the control group “met or exceeded school academic expectations”. Overall, 59.0% of program completers and 38.1% of the control group improved their school behaviour. There was a decrease in disciplinary actions for 61.5% of completers and 39.6% of the control group. Around 3.8% of program completers and 14.3% of the control group had dropped out of school at the end of the school year.

    Surficial Sediments and Post-Glacial Relative Sea-Level History, Hamilton Sound, Newfoundland

    An.ANTIC GEOLOGY 97 Surficial sediments and post-glacial relative sea-level history, Hamilton Sound, Newfoundland J. Shaw and K.A. Edwardson Geological Survey of Canada, Atlantic Geoscience Centre, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, PO. Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B2Y 4A2, Canada Date Received September 28, 1993 Date Accepted April 4, 1994 Hamilton Sound is a shallow, wave-exposed cmbaymcnt on the northeast coast of Newfoundland. Four scismostratigraphic units are recognised: (1) bedrock (acoustic basement); (2) a unit with incoherent reflections, interpreted as Late Wisconsinan glacial diamicton or till, which in places forms small drumlins; (3) a thin, acoustically stratified, draped unit found in the deepest parts of the eastern sound, interpreted as glacimarinc gravelly mud; and (4) an uppermost unit with an acoustically stratified, ponded facies, and a facies which can be acoustically incoherent. Unit 4 consists of sandy mud, muddy sand, sand and gravel, and results from reworking of units 2 and 3. Three types of seabed occur: (1) bedrock; (2) bouldery gravel or gravel, sub-angular to rounded, which overlies, and is derived from, glacial diamicton of acoustic unit 2. The coralline alga Lithothamnion sp. coats some clasts on their upper surfaces and some clasts completely. This, together with the occurrence of gravel ripples in several areas, is evidence of intermittent sediment mobility; and (3) gravelly sand, sand, muddy sand, or sandy mud, located in basins. Seabed features in this zone include dunes, iceberg furrows and pits. The regional relative sca­ level curve is constrained by two types of morphological evidence: rounded drumlin crests at depths below 19 m which would have been truncated if sea level had fallen below -18.5 m, and (wave-cut) terraces at depths of 17 to 21 m.
