Proposed budget:
- New approach: instead of giving cashflow every month, show financial income statement.. Year End Statement will be issued at end of every FY. FY Starts Aug. 1 through July 31 Full account of income and expenses.
- Monthly statement: month/FY 2018/ % budget, monthly and year-end
- Angela needs to post year-end to Guide Star, a non-profit web. Indicates financial health.
- We will be able to see % of budget. Angela will always have the FY budget at meetings. Voted to adopt. All in favor.
- Teacher allowance: $100 visa cards at the beginning of the year—with plan to issue a second card in January if fundraising meets goals for fall.
- Question: What is the plan for the $25k (give or take) sitting in our accounts? Suggested we use for programming. Suggestion to explore outdoor school programming for 5th graders? Something to explore.
- Put $500 into principal account at beginning of year. All in favor.
- Snacks? Keep $900 but work to get Sodexo to pay for snacks this year. Easier for PTC and budget.
