• Report Cards and new WSD policy
• WSD agreement with YMWCA regarding suspended students
• January 25, 2010 snow day issue
• WSD 2010/2011 Budget
• Assessment for Learning
• WSD Staffing
• Community School Investigators (CSI) Program
• Teachers and lockdown duty
• Wind-chill factors
• Employee Connect
• Elementary Leadership Days
• WSD Mentorship Program
• H1N1 and WSD Pandemic Plan
• School Fundraising

The WTA also met with senior Superintendents and HR to discuss the staffing process the Division will be using in May and June of this year.

I would like to thank the Chief Superintendent for the opportunity to meet on a regular basis and for the open and direct conversations that took place during these meetings.
