I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2)–(3) Yes; there have been
three.
(4) Principals
determine what proportion of the one-line budget will be spent on salaries and
which positions they want to fill. Positions to be filled are then registered
on the recruitment advertising management system. Two positions are currently
registered on RAMS: one for an early childhood teacher and the other for a special
