  • Revisit Smoking Area: We again discussed the issues of 1) moving the smoking area from it's current location at the front corner of the school and 2) underage smoking. After much discussion, it was decided that the executive body of parent council should meet to document our position regarding 1) location of smoking area, 2) monitoring under-age smoking and 3) informing parents on resources available for smoking cessation. We hope to present our position to the administration in the fall of 2011.
