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.
