Bruce stated that forms where sent out every September for Cupe Members to make known their intentions and then he fills the vacancies from this list on a rotational basis according to Board Policy. The Union asked if these Lists be distributed and Posted at all Schools. Jim Alder asked Bruce if that could be possible, Bruce suggested that would be a problem because of the frequency he uses the list. Bruce said it would be a problem keeping an up to date list posted in the schools. Jim stated Facility Services would look into how to get up to date information out to the schools and our membership. Jim Alder stated that a Community Service list would be done by June, than a Head Caretakers List to follow.
