Budget-Review/explanation for how to read the budget.  Jog-a-thon Net aprox $16,500

Discussion of building a cafeteria: Research must happen before we plan to build one—would anyone be willing to do research? (find grant monies available, district requirements, bids, etc . estimated cost from research 2 years ago--$250k.)

Discussion of why we need a new playground:

Current playground is falling apart and small compared to the number of kids who attend Sumpter.  Principal has names of schools that just built new playgrounds for $30k.  It is a “doable” project  for the parent club this year! If you want to be on the “playground task force contact PTC President, Brittney Springer (through school or reply to PTC email).

-Jane Morris asking for funds to purchase a new iPad for Gym use. Proposed, $100 from Jane's budget to pay for the iPad and Parent club would cover the rest up to $300. Motion: ___________ Second__________

Outdoor School update:
