If the board decides not to continue with the program, the equipment installed at the school will become the property of the board. Idea came from staff at Meadowvale Meadowvale Secondary School is the only school in Peel participating in the pilot. The staff at Meadowvale investigated the possibility of becoming a pilot site for the YNN program about two and a half years ago. The school also has representation on a National Educational Advisory Council of educators, parents and students who will provide on-going counsel and advice regarding programming. However, to effectively evaluate YNN, we encourage students to watch the broadcasts during the pilot and participate in opportunities to give their feedback.
Forms are available at the school office for students who want to opt-out of the program.
All students have a 15-minute homeroom period at the end of period 1 in the school day. The YNN broadcasts will be shown during this time. The board has heard concerns expressed by a small group. As a result, the board has respected these concerns in the negotiation of the YNN contract and the pilot phase. The board has a responsibility to try new programs and to be innovative, and meet the needs of students.
