Satisfaction reading in school board report
Upper Canada district school trustees enjoyed a positive year-end report before their Christmas holiday break. Director Stephen Sliwa presented his annual report on the 2014-2015 school term to the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) during a recent session before the December holiday break. The report, titled Creating Futures, Lead- ing and Learning for All , summarizes the successes of the Upper Canada district du- ring the previous term in meeting its four strategic priorities of “achieving excellence, ensuring equity, promoting well-being, and enhancing public confidence” throughout the school district. “This report is about the individual and collaborative involvement of everyone in our organization,” stated Sliwa, “to provide our students with the very best public education has to offer.The report is about closing gaps in learning to realize student achievement and potential, and celebrate the success of our students, our schools and our staff.” Details of the report focus on how the UCDSB has worked on improving student skills inmathematics and reading, and also
results in dealing with students mental and physical health needs. Other items covered in the report include
comment on the new UCTV website setup to enhance online communications for students and staff on school events, curri-
culum and other items. The report is now available for public review at www.ucdsb. on.ca.

OPP inNapanee came across an unexpec- ted cache of phony U.S. currency while ar- resting twomen formarijuana possession During a search of the suspects’ vehicle, police found $790 in counterfeit U.S. cur- rency, made up of phony $50 and $20 bills. Napanee OPP are continuing their own investigation to determine howmuch, if any, of the bogus money is now in circulation in the area and have already recovered five more of the fake $50 bills. Business owners should advise their staff about being careful when presented with either of these U.S. currenc y denominations. One of the clues to detecting the coun- terfeits is that they will have the same serial number. Anyone with such currency in their possession should take it to the nearest bank for examination.
