Community comment - if anyone would like to speak fill out the card and bring it up to Linda.

Same rules as usual -- three minutes is allowed since we do not have as many speakers. [We will be safely out of here by midnight. *grins*]

Collette - Thank you for closing buildings and repurposing. Consider options to save as many teachers of possible. What will a classroom look like when a WL classroom goes from 20 to 42+ students? How many students fit in a classroom without having to remove the teachers and tools of teaching?

There is still $600,000 more spent on extra curriculars than there was six years ago.

We used to have 7 hour class days. We went down to 6 hours. We didn't get any teachers and hours back the last time a referrendum passed.

I am afraid we will never go under 35 students.

Class sizes over 35 are detrimental.

How many kids can answer one question in a class? We need to make other choices. Reserve money, mid-year budget surplus, etc. we could cut the number of teachers lost in half.
