Last year the Board, and its committees, provided a number of services including:
- studied alternative internet safety programs for internet access in the school;
- supported the decision to purchase Netbook computers for 8th grade students, and subsequently all middle school classes, and;
- installed an assistive listening system in the 3rd grade classroom after researching the technology and investigating most cost effective alternatives.
The Board is currently working on our goals and tasks for our activities the 2010 - 2011 school year. When these have been set, the Board will post them on this web page for all stakeholders to see. As always your comments and interests are encouraged. The Board is accountable to the All Souls Community and we welcome your input. Please let us know of any items you think need our attention.
