mandy spoke with Anne in June, she suggested opening up to a larger group of schools.

consider rotating meetings between schools. Vince is on board, speakers on district level could be brought in as speakers on different topics.

Mandy would need support on the following:

  • requesting PAC promotion via newsletter
  • booking the space required for the meetings
  • promoting what the PIE is about, tips, etc.
  • requesting November start, then meeting 1x month
  • first meeting would just be to gain interest of what people are looking interested in learning about
  • would need suggestions from Anne about who best to approach for support
  • babysitting? would it be offered?
  • Action plan– wait until after meeting in DPAC in October before taking next steps. Consider to start in Jan 2019.
  • Shelly Moore speaking on Wed Oct 17 at district meeting, if anymore wants to go. https://www.sd44.ca/Calendar/DispForm.aspx?ID=1173
