Summer meetings to improve the school

2009-08-06

Since the past few months, the board of directors held meetings to discuss about ways to improve the school.  So far, we wrote our by-laws and incorporated the school, and our current focus is to improve the communication between the teachers, the principal, and the board.  A lot of progress has been made.  Teachers should expect changes to make their job easier during the new 2009-2010 year, including a new teacher's guide to help newcomers teach at the school.
