Secretary’s Report:
Faith motions to accept minutes as written, Jennifer seconds the motion, all were in favor.
Treasurer’s Report:
Accounting sheet passed out for all present to review
Discussion on Parent Club opening up own bank account
Pros: Ability to accept Credit Cards as payment at events, quicker reimbursement for funds fronted by parents
Cons: Fees involved with Credit and Debit transactions, full time work for Parent Club treasurer to account for expenses and write checks for fund requests, treasurer would also be responsible for filing taxes every year.
Casie motions to wait on opening bank account until the Parent Club has a treasurer to be in office long term as this will take a lot of commitment. Jennifer seconds the motion. All were in favor.
Fund requests:
Report on progress for fundraising for Outdoor School: Student Council recently elected and to help with fundraising efforts. So far school store has raised an estimated $875 that will also go toward funding Outdoor School. With that, the estimated total raised is somewhere between $6,500 and $7,500.
