Advisory Council seeks new member EXETER - On Tuesday, October 1 the Exeter Public School Adviso- ry Council met in the library of Ex- eter Public School. The meeting began at 7:30 and was chaired by Randy Wagler. In- cluded on the agenda was the item: Lunch room location for students at Exeter Public School. As a result, many concerned parents who wished to be heard by the council were in attendance. The council and guests looked at concerns such as supervision schedules, the con- cerns of the parents that had been reported to the Parents Association as well as the concerns of the stu- dents themselves. After a lengthy discussion it was agreed that the students of Exeter Public School be allowed to eat at their desks in their homeroom. Everyone present was satisfied with the solution. The Advisory Council is respon- sible for advising, recommending, and reporting to the principal, staff, and sometimes the school board re- lating to matters affecting the school. The council has set several goals for itself that are on-going and will benefit parents, students , and teachers. One of the more com- plex goals is improved communica- r L. tion techniques. This has produced a home page on the Internet, dis- cussions with cable company and endless discussions about how to send information home from the school itself. The Advisory Council is in need of one more community member. A person who is involved in business, or labor, or community support; who feels that they would like to become involved in critical deci- sion making for Exeter Public School, should contact Exeter Pub- lic School at 235-2630. Your help would greatly be appreciated. GIC / RSP 1 Yr. • 4.50% 3 Yr. • 5.40% 5yr. -6.25% Make Your Business Mare EllYeieiit and Profitable," '111111 JFD Joseph F. Darling. C.G.A. Mil.
