$250 for 26 shirts to be sold by the PTO.
Tami made a motion to pay the invoice and sell the shirts for a
profit. Voted in favor to sell shirts for
$15.
Vote
on New school intercom system- Mr. Leech
He presented a proposal for an intercom
system to allow the front office to better communicate with each of the
classrooms, especially the portables.
Our current system is very poor quality and unreliable. An intercom system would also allow students
to be in their own classroom for morning assembly allowing for teaching to
start more promptly. He presented a unit
called AlertWave by Visiplex for a total of $7979. (please see attached hand-out for
details or go to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3lcMahsaVqDOF9Jel9LeUdDVnc/view?usp=sharing). The PTO members were in
agreement of the immediate need and benefit from such a unit, but would like to
be provided with more comparison options, including the possibility of renting
a unit. The PTO would also would like to
contact RES and see if they would price match to help purchase this unit.

in favor for 1st and 2nd graders to sell them to benefit
