Congratulations to Alex Grant on his recent appointment
as Project Director - Facilities Initiatives at the Vancouver School Board.
In his two years as principal here, Alex has impressed all of us with his
dedication to Kits and his strong efforts to make the school reach its
potential as a positive and caring community that supports the talents and
abilities of all its members. We wish Alex well in his new position, and look
forward to continue working closely with him on our mutual goal of a renewed
and seismically safe Kitsilano Secondary.
Attention: Parents/Guardians of Grade 11 Students
Our last PAC meeting of the year is the Annual General
Meeting (AGM), at which the current Executive will report on its activities
this past school year, and elections for the PAC Executive for 2009-2010 will
take place. In addition, there are three proposed amendments to the PAC
constitution which will be discussed. This is a vital meeting and we strongly
encourage all parents to attend. If we do not reach quorum, we will not be
able to conduct elections for the PAC Executive for the next school year. At
our last PAC meeting, for example, we did not have enough parents attending
to satisfy our constitution's legal requirements.
The PAC Executive for 2009-2010 will be elected at the
AGM on May 20. The elected positions on the executive are: Chair, Vice-Chair,
Treasurer, Secretary, and DPAC representative. Parent representatives for the
School Planning Council (SPC) are also elected at the AGM according to our
current constitution. However, there is a proposed amendment to the
constitution that would change the terms of office of SPC elected parent
representatives; please see below for further information.
The
following proposed bylaw amendments were presented at the April 21, 2009 meeting,
prior to the May 20, 2009 Annual General Meeting (AGM), as required by the
Kitsilano PAC bylaws. At the AGM, each proposed amendment will be processed
separately. For each proposed amendment there will be discussion, followed by
formulation of a motion to be voted upon. The Kitsilano PAC bylaws require a
majority of 75% for a proposed bylaw amendment to pass.
At the end
of every school year, the PAC hosts a special lunch for the teachers and
staff in appreciation of the support and encouragement Kits students receive
every day of the school year. This is an opportunity for school families to
contribute a favourite dish or dessert to a special buffet for a very
appreciative Kits staff. At the last PAC meeting, we started a list of
contributors/helpers. If you are interested in coordinating this event, or if
you would like to assist and/or contribute food, please contact
