New Business

Br. Gene and Dan met with Ms. Ganton to discuss the Star Outreach program. It is a correspondence school focused
on high school age kids that don’t fit the social norm that would allow them to attend classes at the normal times.
Now adult upgrading has become a bigger part of their program. Public schools also offer the same programs.
Courses are very expensive (approx $850/course). Government funding has dried up. Left the meeting hoping to
set up a bursary type program similar to our other bursaries at the schools. Star Outreach would have to write their
