EL update:  Participating School Principals, Rotarian supporter Bob Rainville, BSU professor Sharon Patterson (Rotarian Sunrise), and YMCA coordinator Kersey Hill met this past week.  We discussed hiring the school teacher liaison to lead the EL programs and have the YMCA staff lead the activities for next year.  This will allow more consistency of adult leadership and classroom / school values to be emphasized (Y has had some turn-over with their staff this year with Dominic marrying / moving, and Clara getting another job).  By end of May we'll have a response from classroom teachers on whether or not they're interested in this role for which they would receive monetary compensation.  This role exchange should not affect Rotary's monetary commitment to program.
