Superintendent Novak, in her report, updated the Board about the Alternate Education Review process.
Ms. Novak also shared information about concerns raised provincially regarding how schools and districts
have been issuing Evergreen Certificates and the resulting recent changes to the BC Ministry of
Education Student Credentials Order in the School Act. Also highlighted was the recent Chilliwack
Secondary School staff team trip to Cairo, Egypt where, through invitation, they worked with an
International School staff supporting professional development in the area of assessment. Feedback
received was extremely positive - transformational for staff and for presenters and there may be an
opportunity for school twinning in the future.

AirWatch solution also includes a classroom management piece that
allows teachers the ability to lock students into an application for instruction purposes or simply lock
the screen to focus the attention back to the teacher for instruction. For more information, check out
