North Van School Board announces 5-year plan NORTH VANCOUVER School Board has decided to enter into a major five-year educational plan aimed at reviewing the school district’s future directions and priorities. SURJ RATTAN ‘ontributing Writer The board recently accepted a recommendation of its superin- tendent of schools, Dr. Robin Brayne, to create the Every Learner A Promise project. Brayne said the ‘‘unprecedented changes’’ to education in B.C. by the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Education, policy directions of the Ministry of Education and the new B.C. school act dictate that the district needs to develop a major planning program. The objective of the Every Learner A Promise project will be to create a five-year plan, capital- ize on the current public interest in education by encouraging com- munication on the future direc- tions and priorities of the school district, to design ‘‘educational structures and relationships’’ aim- ed at meeting the necds created by educational changes and to provide a foundation for policy develop- ment and administrative action. “We (NVSB) are very, very big business. We are taxpayers that have the largest employer on the North Shore. There are taxpayers that have very high expectations of our school district,"” Brayne said. The project will be headed by Dr. Ray Williams, currently the school board’s director of instruc- tion and it will focus on four main areas: human resources, ad- ministrative services, student and program services and corporate services. . It’s important in North Van- couver to secure the best teachers available. We should be looking at (teacher’s) morale and job satisfaction,’” said Brayne. ‘“‘We will need a large number of ad- ministrators in this school district over the next five years.”* Of the four phases of the Every Learner A Promise project, Brayne estimates the first three phases will cost the school board $26,000. He added the final phase, implemen- tation of the project, should be completed by December 1990. Board chairman Don Bell said he liked the project. ‘‘I think the structure is a good one. I’m excited about it.”’ Trustee Marg Jessup said the project will be a way of telling the school district what its future priorities should be. “7 like this plan very much. We too often don’: have any way of weighing if a building is more im- portant than a program. This is a very good way of knowing how to balance off our needs,’’ Jessup said. Trustee Richard Walton said he does not want the school district to use the Every Learner A Promise project as an excuse for not look- ing after items that need immediate solutions. He also suggested the creation of a committee to review some of the more ‘‘radical’’ changes in educa- tion. i dave’s Gi BBE Eshop = esr. 1956 “4681 Clyte ave. 922-2500 | os 10 - Wednesday, November i, 1989 - North Shore News Finesse hair Care Products 300 mL Shampoo, Conditioner, Aerosol, or Non-Aerosol Hairspray or 150 g Mousse 4 Triaminicol OM Decongestant : RR Cougn’Coid Syrup oe OLAFERS ‘SUPER: THIY SUPLD ARSCRBENT | Huggies Supertrim 89 | Disposable Diapers Convenient sizes 16”.
