Budget Approval:
Shirleen: I move that the budget be approved as proposed Motion was seconded. Shannon: Are there any further discussions or questions?

Discussion: It was brought up that only counsel dues are listed on the budget. With the way that we are covering dues for PTA members should we list total membership dues on the budget. If budgeted for 400 members, $200.00 for counsel, $900.00 for national, and $400.00 for state dues; for a total of $1,500.00 in dues. This would leave a net of $531.00 on the budget.

There was discussion on why we are offering to pay membership dues for PTA members for the 2011-2012 school year. It is in an effort to promote PTA membership. Ann Wong brought up that she does not have a budget for any paper or prizes for her Fundraiser. It was suggested to add $200.00 to the prizes line item on the budget. That would then leave a Net of $331.00.

Shannon: If there is no further discussion, we will take the vote on the motion to approve the budget as proposed. All in favor please say aye. All opposed please say no. _20_ Aye’ s _0_ No’s

Shannon: The motion to approve the proposed budget has passed.

Audit Approval: Audit report was given by Shirleen. Vote affirmative. Audit was adopted.
