After school academic programs .

Teachers would receive <br /> a consultant stipend to help in developing a program <br /> that would integrate with the school curriculum. <br /> Teachers would then mentor the program while the <br /> volunteer would conduct the program. <br /> (2) Improve communications between Leisure Services <br /> and after school program personnel and School staff. <br /> We need to find out what each group needs/has to offer. <br /> The group discussed some concerns raised by the Council <br /> on the way programs are developed. Ms. Dunivan <br /> suggested the Council send a letter to Leisure Services <br /> of the concerns raised during the discussion.
