09/08/2012 board meeting minutes

Notes from the board meeting 9/8/2012






DUEs: there are approximately 22 families who have not paid their

dues this year. Amber intends on getting Kim & Yvonne involved from

the get go as some of these families have never paid their yearly dues

and are now in 5th grade.





BOARD MEETINGS: The board will have FOUR meetings yearly, these will

be either by themselves or combined with the monthly work nights.

DUES will be explained.





WORK NIGHT 9/12/2012: we have a work night Wednesday plus a meeting.

TEACHERS: please inform your families of this meeting as the board

does not have a working email list for 2012-2013 at this point.





9/12/12 SIGN UPS: the board meeting will be less than 20 minutes

long on 9/12/12 – the rest of the evening will be work night. All BOD

will be there and parents are encouraged to attend to ask questions,

sign up for all forthcoming events and to get their hours in. Crystal

will have a brief agenda and all sign up sheets.





5TH GRADE TRIP: the board wants to know the total cost of the 5th

grade trip so we know how much to budget when helping to pay for this

trip. Last year the total was about $800.





PIZZA AND SNACKS AT MEETINGS: will happen no longer as we spent

approximately $800 for this expense and it did not increase the number

of parents who were involved.





ELECTIONS: we will have elections this year. We will need to start

this discussion with potential replacements ASAP – as all BOD would

like to have their replacement shadow them so they can be taught some

of the harder things – especially Amber’s position. All current board

members will have fulfilled two or more years and our terms have ended

after this year.





HOURS: each family is supposed to put in 35 hours / year. Crystal

will confirm, but it is believed that Bonnie will tally the numbers.

Jamie is making a sign up sheet for hours that will be hung by each

teachers white board of jobs. We think this will be easier for the

parents and less bulk on the main office countertop.
