- Tie
vote was brought back to reconsider - procedure in the handbook
went well
- Positive having executive and office speaking to the resolutions
- Bids to host - districts were not ready; have the office
staff present this section or at least highlight those bids
that require a vote

lots of positive suggestions and comments
- Mary did a great job presiding over the meeting and the
Executive were well prepared and spoke well
- Look at volleyball for next year (re: NC and NE resolutions),
be proactive by preparing model of the proposed playoff.
- Straw vote sessions - why did the SHSAA go away from this
procedure - change to forwarding planning for each activity,
better opportunity for everyone hears all comments
- Were able to move on a number of issues, new committees
to be developed in the fall.
- Enrollment numbers - aboriginal schools - an issue to
investigate
- Transfer policy - the thing that swayed the vote was the
idea of revisiting and working on the policy. Need to monitor
and report for next year.
- Resolutions - SSTA publishes the views of the executive,
sparks a discussion among the members - this was done about
4 years ago by SHSAA may need to be revisited
- Basketball rules committee needs to convene and report
to next years AGM.
- Officials session - Walt Morris was representing SABO;
the assigning of volleyball, soccer, football officials
are done by the districts and this was mentioned at the
