There’s going to be,some changes

delegation of staff told the Castlegar

Through the course of this school
year, all corners of the school and all
supplies and materials, have been
under scrutiny by the staff looking
for ways to improve the school. In-

was con-

* plement them.

The self-assessment process,
similar to accreditation, was created
three years ago by the Ministry of
Education but Woodland Park is the
first school in the Castlegar district

to go through it.

“It’s a healthy process to go
through actually,” said Alexia Tur-
ner, chairman of the internal team.
“The whole staff worked on it
together, but of course the carrot. at
the end of it was that it generates the
extra money for our school . . . $40
per student in the school,”’ she said.

The total is about $5,300 and will
be used to put the plans into action.

“It was time consuming, but it
was an exciting process,’’ Turner
said. ‘‘The neat thing was that once
we worked all through this, we really
didn’t have any idea what our
Priorities were going to be until we
actually sat down and looked at all
the different areas. It was pretty ex-
citing to find out what our priorities
were going to be."’

Turner and fellow team members
Muriel Walton, Gretchen Backus,
Myrna Faulkner and Richard Dodds
Presented those priorities, called ac-
tion plans, to the school board
together with external team chairman
Nancy DeVuono, a district helping
teacher from Creston.

Included in the plans are

Priorities for library materials to be
purchased, increasing the amount of
Year 2000-related materials and in-
creasing the amount of funding to
the ministry average of $21.52 per
student from $12.11 per student.
Under professional development,
teachers will attend workshops to
keep up computer training,
workshops to learn how to teach
soeiatskills, and other schools to
learn new teaching strategies for
social studies and science classes.
Furnishings will be updated to

meet new needs created by the Year
2000 program and to meet size and
safety needs.

A list of priorities includes new
desks, a larger gym, a separate com-
puter room and electrical work.

““We need more outlets to accom-
modate the computers and we're
blowing fuses all the time in the kit-
chen,”’ Walton said.

Getting more money for each
student is one of the school’s long-
term goals but Turner said they’ve
already taken the first step by in-
cluding it in the process.

“Each year when the budget
comes up we're going to» have to
bring this forward again,”’ she said.
“‘And we assume there are probably
some trustees who didn’t know what
the average was. You know you
can’t buy a hard cover book for un-
der $20, not even a primary book . .
- 80 $12 is really peanuts,”

The staff were commended for
contributing to the school’s success.

Vuono said they made the
School ‘‘very vibrant . . . an inviting
Place to be for the children and the
Parents. The commitment is very
high.””

Comments on the surveys also
commended the teachers.

“The whole process gave us direc-
tion for the future,” Turner said.
“It’s helped us focus on Year 2000,
and it’s given us a sense of where
we're at.””

City considers rezoning

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar will lose a little parkland
but gain some room for single-family
housing if city council agrees to
rezone four lots on 8th Avenue ad-
jacent to the Zinio Park tennis cour-
ts.

Council will hold a public hearing
‘On the rezoning Tuesday at 4 p.m. in

John Evdokimoff of Castlegar,
who wants to buy one of the four

lots, applied to the city to rezone the
Property to single-family residential
from park, recreation and cemetery.
But because city policy requires
that property owners bear the cost of
extending services such as paved
roads and water mains, council
decided to include in the rezoning
three other city-owned lots. If the
Property is rezoned, the city would
then sell the lots to help pay for the
extension of services to all four lots.

Junker, 18, aJeft winger for the
Memorial Cup champion Spokane

teammate Trevor Tovell, 20, at a
boisterous party, one day after the
team returned from Quebec City.

Tovell, a defenceman, was -booked
for investigation of obstructing a

Both were released on their own

on 8th Avenue.

“Zinio (Park) is only partially
developed at this time and with the

additional parkland at this location is
not needed," he says.

Council must also amend the of-

ficial community plan designation of
the lots to single family from parks.

Police arrived at the party at a
