Financial Summary Estimate and Proposed Income and Expenditures Reports for 2006-2007 school year were handed out. The following items were discussed:

Weather Bug. The Board approved a $1,000 lifetime membership to Weather Bug for Tavelli. It used funds from the Albertson’s funds to purchase the membership.

Read-a-Thon. There was a discussion as to whether or not to continue the Read-a-Thon as a fundraiser or a school event. Any with ideas or input should contact Kristen Draper.

Media AR Quizzes. This is currently a Priority 2 Activity with a budget amount of $500. Mrs. Payton has stated that she only needs $350 to purchase new AR quizzes. There was a discussion of whether or not to leave it as a Priority 2 activity, move it to a Priority 1 activity, or combine it with the Media, Tech line item in the Priority 1 activities. After discussion, it was decided that the Media AR quizzes should remain as a Priority 2 activity.
