Parents attended board meeting to express their concern regarding the evaluation process. Joe Trawinski, Travel Director, thoroughly explained the evaluation process to the parents. Parents suggested that next year a grading scale of 1-10 be used instead of 1-5. All age groups go back to 1.5 hours of ice per evaluation session except for Mites.
