Sligo Creek ES PTA Meeting June 5, 2012 SCES Media Center, 7 pm

Meeting Minutes
A quorum of the membership was present. Audit Report (Karen Fitzgerald) Everything in the PTA account books looked good. Two minor items were noted: 1) There is a high balance remaining for the Staff Gift Fund. (This money is slated to purchase a new photo copier for the school. The purchase should be done soon.) 2) For checks written for over $500, it would be good to have 2 signatures on the reimbursement form. Treasurers Report (Andrew Schulman) The Balance sheet and the Income & Expense Budget sheet were passed around. The PTA currently has approximately $37,000 in equity. Only some of the Salamander Stride proceeds are included in this report. Budget Items Magazine subscriptions: A motion was made and approved to increase the budget for magazine subscriptions (line 6175). Playground equipment: the PTA had previously provided money to buy new playground equipment; however, the cost was higher than expected. Ms. Swift said that the school will pay the difference. Summer Reading Program: Mme Johnston will be holding a 10 week-long summer reading program for FI students with approximately 20 students. She has asked for $400 to pay for materials. The PTA can pay for this, but she needs to submit her receipts by the end of June. Upcoming Events End of Year Social: The social is on Friday, June 8. Volunteers are needed to help serve pizza, water, and chips. Salamander Stride Party: the party for the grade(s) with the most participation will be on Monday, June 11. The 1st and 2nd grades were the winners of the party.

After School Enrichment Program Diane and Marisa met recently with the owner of FlexAcademy. They are very willing to work with any vendor we suggest. All vendors must sign a contract with him. He will be sending us a Letter of Intent. Depending on how we want to structure the costs, the PTA/school could make a profit on these programs which could be used for an activity bus (among other things). The PTA will explore this option more in the coming weeks. Approval of the Minutes The minutes from the May 1, 2012 PTA meeting were approved.
