WL News -- Feb 7th edition

1) Doug Neufeld (SD #27 Zone 6 Trustee) says SD #27 Trustee Pay should increase - read here

Editor's Note - I agree with the person who said increasing trustee pay at a time when teachers' are being asked to accept a 'net zero' contract looks bad.  Further to that - comparing trustee pay to City of Williams Lake Mayor/Council is really a big stretch.  If you have to compare - then compare to similiar-sized school districts, like School District #28 (Quesnel) for example...
