Motion to approve last month’s meeting made by Alisa Cox, seconded by Elizabeth Morehead and passed with no objections.

Introduction of officers present and verification of a quorum.

Budget:

There was discussion about Field Trip funding.  Some parents felt the PTO should make it clearer that this line item funds bussing costs and not entry fees and the entire cost of a trip.

The Thurston Nature Center is still waiting for reimbursement for the $500.00 check mistakenly cashed by the Thurston office.

There were four approved changes to the preliminary budget.

Line item 4042--Auction was changed from $12,000.00 to $10,000.00

Line item 5025--Green Schools was changed from $500.00 to $600.00

Line item 5030--Earth Week Education was changed from $350.00 to $200.00

Line item 5205--Auction was changed from $1500.00 to $4500.00

Motion to pass the budget made by Elizabeth Morehead, seconded by John Svoboda and passed with no objections.

Motion by Alisa Cox for $391.68 for Art Room stools as priced out by Mrs. Wyse, seconded by Elizabeth Morehead and approved with no objections.

The outgoing and incoming treasurers will meet over the summer and add the new names to the PTO bank account.

OHMHA Fall Festival organizers invite the PTO to sell pizza once again at the event.  If this happens, it would be for no more than the first two hours of the event (usually 12-2) and the sellers would need to arrange for a cashbox and paypal reader.
