PTO/SAC Board Meeting

November 3, 2005

 

Meeting was called to order at 3:10 p.m.

 

Welcome:  Sign-in sheet was passed around.

 

Secretary’s Report:

*The minutes from October’s meeting were read, accepted, and seconded.

 

Treasurer’s Report:

*Britt Galipault read the Profit and Loss for the current school year (Aug. 1 – Nov. 3).  Unencumbered funds = $62.46.  Our total expense = $38,836.45.  Which gave us a net income = $2,696.45 so far this year. 

Net Entertainment Books = $1,491.00 (213) books

Net Sally Foster = $10,760.64

Net Katrina = $3662.76

Net t-shirts = $807.35

*Fundraiser income to date (net of expenses) = $16,721.75

*The budget was then accepted and seconded.

 

 

President’s Report:

*Stacey Blackwell introduced us to a representative from Kids Luv who presented our school PTO committee with several different types of magazine fundraisers we could use for next school year. Possible highlight would include orders being delivered straight to home of buyer rather than being distributed at school for students to then distribute to their customers.  PTO representatives will evaluate the benefits of possibly implementing this fundraiser for the 2006-07 school year.

 Mr. Bontrager (Brentwood parent and business owner) presented those present at meeting with a sample from his company called “Edibles” which we may use as a set up for orders in the future for teachers to purchase on a personal choice basis (similar to Books Are Fun in teacher workroom) to help establish good business partner relationship with Brentwood.

 

Misc./New Business:

Two upcoming Family Night fundraisers were discussed by our Business Coordinator, Cory Tyle.  PTO would like to set up a date with Olive Garden for a Family Night which included 1 free kids meal with every family.  Olive Garden would also like to have an essay contest with our Brentwood students (1st-5th) which included a possible $2,500 savings bond for the winner (details to come).

A Family/School Skate Night would also like to be established at Stardust Skate Center. $300 is the total cost (at least 60 students to participate).  Any monies over this amount would go directly to school PTO fund.

*Specific dates for these two events are still pending and consideration for outside events such as 4th grade writing nights, etc. are being taken into consideration.  Dates and details coming soon!

 

Principals’ Report:

*The monies allotted yearly for the SAC are specifically for school improvement.  We were allotted $18,000 this year.  We have already approved 1/3 of our budget for materials to use to prepare students for FCAT testing.

*Mrs. Henderson requested that 1/3 of these monies be allocated to pay for substitute teachers for our classroom teachers to take training during the school day.  This would be used on an as-needed basis as training opportunities come up.

*Mrs. Henderson also requested that 1/3 of these monies be allocated to fund the cost of registration and travel for teachers who want to attend conferences.  This would be also used on an as-needed basis as conference opportunities came up.

*The FTEC conference in February is a perfect opportunity for our teachers and a good example of how these monies would be allocated appropriately.

*Budget submitted by Mrs. Henderson was seconded and approved by SAC committee.

*Mrs. Henderson also presented SAC committee with our Policy Against Discrimination.  A strong emphasis was established that any and all alleged harassment must go through the official complaint process procedure:

Step 1:  Cost Center Head (Mrs. Henderson or Mr. McQueen)

Step 2:  Assoc. Superintendent (John Zortich)

Step 3:  Equity Coordinator

Appeals:  Superintendent’s designee

 

Meeting was adjourned at 4:05 – thank you for supporting our school!!!

 

Respectfully submitted,
