Agenda

2. Minutes of October 2016 AGM 3. Business arising from the minutes 4. CCES Budget – Oliver Hansma 5. HVAC system upgrades update – Ron Scheper 6. CCRTC presentation – Otto Bouwman 7. Question Period 8. Closing

2016. The proposed changes are largely in response to changes to the BC Societies Act. An

opportunity for questions from the floor was given.

Why do we not allow proxy voting? Our current bylaws do not specify either way, so the

addition of this prohibition simply clarifies and maintains current practice.

The Proposal was read to the membership: “That the Constitution and Bylaws of the Canadian Reformed School Association of Langley B.C., pursuant to the new BC Societies Act, be amended to reflect the changes as proposed by the Board, effective November 28, 2016.” Since there was

no further discussion, the membership proceeded to vote by ballot on the proposal. The Proposal

carried with 100% of the vote in favour. A motion to destroy the ballots was carried by the

membership.

Review of Financial Statements: The Chairman gave the floor to board Treasurer Oliver Hansma who presented the general and special education financial statements for the 2015/16 school year along with the review report completed by Angela deBoer, Deanna VanDyke. An opportunity for questions was given.

Why do we not budget for asset replacement? Capital items are always dealt without outside of the regular budget. As well, our current bylaws and policies require the board to secure membership approval for all expenditures greater than $25,000 for capital purchases.

Is the Special Education surplus used for special education or is it put into general reserve? The surplus remains in the special education fund and is passed on from year to year.

A motion to accept the general and special education financial statements as presented was carried by a show of hands. Five Year Plan: The Chairman gave the floor to board member Oliver Hansma who presented the proposed five-year plan for building renewal. The five year plan is based on enrolment data showing that portables will not be required in the immediate future. The five year plan includes gym, HVAC, parking lot and IT upgrades with a budgeting cost of $375,000. Due to existing funding sources, a total fundraising goal of $60,000 is proposed to deliver the plan. An opportunity for questions from the floor was given.

Why are we not using our internal reserves before approaching membership for fundraising? We are trying to be conservative by only using a portion of our reserves.

The Proposal was read to the membership: “That the Board be directed to deliver the building renewal plan proposed in the CCES 5-Year Plan Report including the use of $25,000 from the Restricted for capital repairs and replacements fund and $75,000 from the Unrestricted fund.” Since there was no further discussion, the membership proceeded to vote by ballot on the proposal.

The Proposal carried with 99% of the vote in favour. A motion to destroy the ballots was carried by

the membership.

Presentation on Credo Aid Shop Easy Program: The chairman gave the floor to community member Sean Meints who delivered a presentation on the Credo Aid Shop Easy program. The presentation included information on how the program works, the history of the program, the potential earnings of the program, common objections and philosophical, logical and religious reasons for members to make use of the program. The membership was encouraged to continue to the support the school through the use of the program. Question Period: An opportunity for general questions was given. There were no further questions. Thanksgiving Prayer: Community member Norm Vanderhorst led in thanksgiving prayer.

Closing: The Chairman, Chris Hoff closed the meeting and thanked all for coming.

Special Education Program

Budget 2017-18

The change in salaries reflects a .4 full-time equivalent reduction in

teaching staff countered with the salary committee recommendation

wage increases for the 2017/18 school year and the change to full time

of our principal.

Budget increase due to the number of families included in the

allocation calculation.

Increase due to fewer students in Special Education Program

and a higher staff to pupil ratio.

Budgeted for student laptop replacement. These costs are

offset by golf tournament fundraising and the Learning

Resource Grant (2016/17)

An increase of $15 per month for each level of tuition

Expected grant amount for 2017/18.
