Dear Fellow Trustees,

As you are aware, the PEISTA is holding a special meeting of the Association on Monday night, February 20th, at the Eastern School District Office in Stratford, starting at 7 PM.

I remind you that on the Agenda is CSBA membership and CSBA PD Grant to PEISTA.

We need your input; we need your participation in the voting process. The PEISTA is your Association, and your voice counts.

Please come to the meeting, and exercise your right to voice your concerns. You must be present at the meeting to vote, as no proxy or absentee ballots will be accepted.

I look forward to seeing you Monday night.

Marie Sullivan

Atlantic Conference 2006: a Success

19 Trustees from PEI attended the Atlantic Conference this past week-end in Corner Brook, NL. Presentations were very informative and refreshing; we had lots of fun at Marble Mountain, and many of our trustees were "screeched"! Congratulations to NLSBA!

STA meets with Minister Dover

The PEISTA executive will be meeting with our Minister of Education, the Honourable Mildred Dover, on February 16th 2006. It's time for our yearly meeting with the Department of Education to talk about funding and plans for 06-07.

If you want a particular message to get to the minister, let your rep know, and we'll see if it can be incorporated in the discussions.

Chance to meet with CSBA

Trustees will have the opportunity to meet with CSBA President Gerri Gershon and CSBA National Director Patricia Parulekar while at the Atlantic Conference in Corner Brook. Watch for details about time and day. Your STA rep will have more info as we get closer to the Conference dates.

Come out and have a chat with our national partners.
