-Ana brought forward some concerns parents have been voicing about educational support at the school. She proposed a Homework Club for grades 4 to 7 twice a week. She estimates that it will cost $2,000.00 to pay for a tutor. It was discussed and will be looked into by CPF. Maxine commented that location of the Homework Club may be a problem.
