Mr G G King was asked to act as Secretary of this
meets g
The report of the meeting of January 20th, 1969 was then
referred to A portion of the minutes was read and followed
by a and new reports etc. Brief summary of that
is as liscuss;on
follows
Three Hills School Division - Mr Taylor advised that the
grants may be known ear i.er as the session of the Provincial
Legislature is opening at an earlier date this year. Mr.
Ratzl ff referred to the committee working on the School
Foundation Program and stated that its report will be available
fair_l soon. Mr. Taylor also referred to school finances
and tile proposed recommendation that Boards endeavor to hold
their percentage increase to 6 %. In reply to a question he
did not have information as to how this 6 would compare with
the i crease of a previous year He further stated that there
would be no allowance for carryover from one year to the next
Pqr G Berdahl expressed appreciation for the meeting He
also eferred to the Teacher's Strike in 1969 which had been
setts d to mutual satisfaction. He felt it had caused no real
hards ip and the Board had considerable ratepayer support
The Ta che r supply is much. better now and negotiations will
soon rt in regard to 1970 -71 salary etc. The School Division
had supported the M D in a brief regarding assessment and
taxation He stated that the caretaking of the school grounds
had been improved and there is now better communication with
the M D in this regard He stated that no final decision had
been made regarding teacher facilities for the new Hutterite
colony in the Allingham area, but that it was not expected
any service would be needed before September of 1971 The
Board had given study to the first draft of the New School
Act, but the revised draft still needs more consideration It
defin tely gives the local Board more autonomy In dealing
with osts, he felt these had been well handled by the School
Divis n and the fact that grants have been received from
the D partment monthly instead of quarterly has been of assistance.
They ave some building plans for additions to facilities. The
Meeting will be held in Three Hills on February 6th
comme cing at 1 00 P M The School Division this year will
send out its own financial statements Mr Schreiber referred
briefly to the amalgamation of the Trochu Pontmain Separate
School District with the School Division and stated that most
of th problems that had arose had been mutually settled
Drumheller Hospital -- Mrs Roberts also gave thanks
regarding the meeting and stated that the actual building is
now under construction and good progress is being made They
hope lo start using the new hospital by August of this year
