....................
Referring to Item 11.12, Student Trustee Egerton commented that the Peel Student Presidents' Council would like to have more secondary schools represented at its monthly meetings, and she suggested that a letter be sent out to all Peel DSB secondary schools to encourage representation. Chair McDougald suggested that she contact Manager of Communication Services, Brian Woodland for assistance in preparing an appropriate communication. Also, a Board Member queried whether the Peel DSB would have to change its By-laws if, in future, student trustees were elected by a student senate, as suggested by the Ontario Student Trustees' Association. Chair McDougald suggested that this issue be referred to the Trustee Review Committee.
Arising from Item 11.4, frustration was expressed by trustees about the length of time that the Ministry of Education is taking to develop and finalize a new funding model for student transportation.
The administration responded to a number of questions and concerns raised in connection with the Ontario Qualifying Test, referred to in Item 11.15.
