The PTIA parent group, participating at the PTIA Meeting last Tuesday APPROVED the proposal for a major video- and audio-related update in the ISC, financed out of part of the remaining foundation money, that the PTIA was holding on for a major investment - estimated project start May 2023!
Thank you to all parents coming to this event and being a part
in making the IA Okma Campus an even better place for our staff and students!
And to finish this year strong - we kindly ask all Teachers, Staff, Parents & Students to participate in the IA-Community Project!
