Chipeta PTA

General meeting

December 6, 2006

Call To Order:

The general meeting of the Chipeta PTA was held in room #19 at Chipeta Elementary on Tuesday, December 6, 2006, and called to order at 6:34 p.m. President Stacy Papenfuss presided, and Heidi Lagasca recorded the minutes.

 

Minutes:

The minutes of the October 3, 2006, meeting were approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report:

The financial report was approved by consensus. The treasurer shared her concerns about the amount of returned checks she has been getting this year and what it is costing the PTA in bank fees and not being able to collect payment on merchandise already given to the parents. A discussion ensued regarding Checkway and if this would be something we would want to try next year. A motion was made by Ana Chavez to use Checkway next year for checks that are bounced twice. The motion passed.

 

Principal’s Report:

  • Chipeta received an Excellent rating on the SAR report, with student growth being stable.
  • School and neighborhood vandalism were addressed; the police and security are aware.
  • Bond updates: Each classroom will receive a white board that would like one. Estimate to remodel all the bathrooms would be $68,000. Carpeting for Chipeta was estimated at $106,000; we are allocated $56,000.00 for carpet already, so would need to pay the remainder of that.
  • Still working on security ideas and issues.

 

President’s Report:

Stacy Papenfuss and Christine Bauers attended a Jefferson Elementary PTA meeting at their request. The school is trying to raise money for playground equipment. A discussion followed regarding our PTA donating the January Bingo proceeds to help Jefferson Elementary buy their equipment. A motion was made by Sondra Ferguson to donate our January Bingo proceeds to Jefferson Elementary School. The motion passed.
