Magnet_resize

Dear Clifford families, teachers & staff:

Please join us in the Library, October 18, 2018, at 7PM, for October’s PTO meeting.  Your kids are most welcome. (Note: On-site childcare is not available, but your kiddos can read or do other mellow activities in the library.)

Prior to the regular 7PM meeting, there will be a meeting at 6pm in Room 27 to discuss the proposed ideas put forth by RCSD to cut $4M in spending.  A number of these ideas would directly impact our school.  (for more about this topic, see this post)

Final Meeting of the School Year: Thurs, May 21

Magnet_resize

You are all invited to join us for the last PTO meeting of the 2014-2015 school year.

  • Thursday, 5/21
  • 7PM
  • Library
  • Light meal served

Your kids are welcome to join you and hang out quietly in the Library.

We will be voting on the following items:

  • Bylaw changes. The changes include: approving a budget in May instead of September, contracts for budgeted expenses can be approved by the President or VP and Treasurer, and the responsibilities of the President include preparing a budget to be approved by Exec Board.
  • Unbudgeted expense for this year. Principal Dees has requested that the PTO make a one-time donation of $1,500 to the school to help with costs of the multicultural festival this year. This proposal is supported by the Exec Board.
  • Officers & Standing Committee Chairs for next year. We will also be voting on the people who have been nominated for the various positions
  • PTO Budget for 2015/16. The Exec Board approved a budget that forecasts revenue of $113,300 versus $90,400 estimated for this year. Expenses will rise to $109,000 versus $93,900 forecasted for this year. Net Income will be $4,300 resulting in an ending reserve of $158,000.

Information on the bylaw changes and the budget will be available to review in a binder in the school office.

See you there.
