6.1. Update on the Distance Learning Virtual Classroom DL Virtual Classroom Vice-Principal, Camila Bhandari

Camila Bhandari provided an update on the Distance Learning Virtual Classroom program, which consists of nine teachers supporting 12 schools across the District. The program has 167 students in Kindergarten through Grade 7. A goal of the program is to strengthen the connection between students and families and their school communities. Teachers are working to recreate a classroom experience and build community while providing instructional teaching online. The program's teachers have assisted 30 students complete the first online FSA's, and are finding ways to virtually continue traditions that normally take place in person, such as student-led conferences.

6.2. Communicating Student Learning and Summaries of Progress Sheryl Koers, Associate Superintendent

Glen Posey, District Principal of Instruction and Innovation

In 2016-17 the Ministry began the process of transitioning student reporting from the use of traditional report cards (Form A) to Communication of Student Learning (CSL) Interim Student Reporting Guidelines (Form B) to better meet the needs of the changing curriculum.

CSL provides parents with regular updates throughout the year (digital, paper portfolios, emails, phone calls, or face-to-face), which must include: authentic evidence of learning;

feedback on the student's educational strengths and areas for improvement; a clear description of the learner's next steps; and self assessment by the learner. In addition, summaries of progress are completed in January and June which include: a space for teacher comments; the proficiency scale indicating the learner's level of proficiency for each of the learning standards; and a self assessment by the learner of the core competencies of communication, critical/creative thinking, and personal responsibility/identity.

Trustee Thorne joined the meeting at 4:22 p.m.

The transition to CSL began in the lower grades, with its use being optional for K-9 from 2016-17 until 2019-20, but mandatory for K-7 beginning 2020-21. Use of the CSL remains optional for Grades 8-9 until 2021-22. Grades 10-12 began exploring the use of the proficiency scale and CSL in 2020-21.

A new reporting order is due to come out at end of this year for implementation in 2022-23.

6.3. Three-Year Calendar: Preliminary Survey Results Mike Russell, Director of Communications

Following the February 2, 2021 Board meeting, a public survey on the proposed three-year calendar was released and advertised on social media and in the newspaper. To date, 113 responses have been received (60% of respondents identified as a caregiver or parent; 27%

identified as CUPE staff; and 9% identified as teachers).

There were 111 responses to the 2021-2022 calendar, with 61% in favour; 13% having no opinion; and 26% not in favour. Most comments were regarding the spring break/district closure, with a pretty even split of people wanting/not wanting the same dates as neighbouring districts.

(5)

The 2022-2023 calendar had 108 responses, with 64% in favour, 13% with no opinion, and 23% not in favour. In addition to similar comments around spring break/district closure, there were also comments regarding the scheduling of Pro-D days.

The 2023-24 calendar had 108 responses with 53% in favour, 19% having ho opinion, and 27% not in favour. The higher proportion not in favour were because the winter break starting so close to Christmas.

When asked what weekdays were preferred for non-instructional days, 112 responded with 51% of people indicating Monday, and 71% selecting Friday (respondents were able to select more than one day).

7. Business and Operations

7.1. 2020-2021 Year End Projection

The February enrolment count is expected to result in a slight increase to the provincial grant.

The Province has not fully distributed all funds this year and may release a hold back which is not reflected in the budget. The budget could also change as a result of further

announcements later in the school year.

Salaries for Principals/Vice-Principals are close to budget. CUPE salaries has a surplus due to the school year's late start and early finish, which resulted in fewer weeks of pay. In addition, vacation calculations were over budget due to a reduction in average years of service of employees. The Board allocated an additional $200K for absentee coverage compared to last year, but it is projected to be $66K under budget.

Due to the inability for groups of people to meet, only $130K of the $1.1M budget for inservice/extra curricular/department head has been spent. Similarly, a surplus for Pro- D/Travel is anticipated.

The District can't anticipate that it will receive any federal or provincial support to continue the current COVID-related services in 2021-22.

The overall projection is for a surplus of $1.5M, which is in addition to the $1.4M remaining in surplus from previous years.

7.2. Enrolment Estimate 2021-2022

The 2021-2022 enrolment projection is for a reduction of 187 students, which is a drop of 1.5%. Part of the drop is a result of a larger Grade 12 cohort graduating, along with a smaller- than-anticipated Kindergarten enrolment. Staff is trying to track the loss of approximately 100 students.

7.3. 2021-2022 Budget Preview

The Secretary-Treasurer highlighted considerations impacting the building of next year's budget. The District will likely be continuing some of the current COVID practices, but it is unknown whether the federal or provincial governments will be providing additional grants to support the associated costs. Mental health for employees has been recognized as a significant issue. The Minister's mandate letter included the movement of child care from the Ministry of Children and Families to the Ministry of Education. Discussions have begun with CUPE regarding the operation of future child care facilities in the District. Trades positions funded from operating have gone down as people are moved over to capital work. Equitable

AGENDA ITEM #3.1.

(6)

funding of elementary schools is being addressed as some schools have to provide more disposable resources to students than others. Early years education and reconciliation with local Indigenous communities remain priorities of the Board. The average number of weeks of vacation for support staff will be adjusted down by one week due to reflect a decrease in the average years of service. Employees greatly reduced their use of health practitioners (chiropractors, massage therapists, etc.) during the pandemic, which should result in a significant premium holiday. BC Hydro has requested a rate decrease of 1.01%.

The Ministry will announce preliminary operating grants on March 15, 2021, although setting of the provincial budget won't take place until April due to the pandemic. The Ministry may need to hold back contingencies in case the provincial education budget is adjusted. It is anticipated that the International Student Program's enrolment will continue to be impacted by the pandemic next year. A joint application for transportation services submitted on behalf of participating Nations is awaiting approval prior to be incorporated into the budget. A surplus of $1.5M for 2020-2021 is projected, in addition to the existing $1.4M unrestricted operating surplus from 2019-2020.

7.4. Draft Budget Guiding Principles

2020/2021 YEAR-END PROJECTION AS AT FEBRUARY 28, 2021

This projection was prepared using information available on March 15, 2021. It is updated on a monthly basis or as new information is received. As we progress towards the June 30, 2021 year-end the reliability of the projection improves. Certain assumptions are made regarding the account balances.

Employee salaries and benefits are projected by adding the expected monthly expenditures to the year-to-date balance and adjusting for know differences.

Supplies and inservice budget allocations are assumed to be fully expended at year-end. The projection is adjusted for known differences.

Casual replacement balances are calculated using a method of extrapolation. The current account balance is divided by the prior year balance at the same date. This ratio is then multiplied against the prior year-end balance. This method assumes that trends to date will continue.
