Principals Report:

School Budget—tuition increases were made. This was based on a projected 4% cost of living increase, a 20% raise in utilities, a 10% increase in health costs, and the elimination of the Scrip program. This represents an increase of $230 or $24 a month. Tuition contracts were mailed to each family with this information. Families will be encouraged to continue Scrip involvement with E-scrip and credit card participation.

Chairperson’s Report:

Spring Fundraiser— Pat Tizik, chairperson, submitted a proposal for the spring raffle. This year’s goal is $5000. The proposal was reviewed and suggestions were made. The raffle will be held after Lent and availability is limited for selling tickets after Masses. There will be an incentive program for the students selling tickets that include free dress, free ice cream, and movie passes. The drawing for the raffle will be on May 19, 2006 at the Sock Hop. More information will be available later.

Auction wrap-up—Wrap up meetings were concluded and new procedures were established. It was noted that representation from the PTG board is very important in maintaining continuity in the auction. Research is being done regarding moving the silent auction on-line next year. That will open up the auction to people not attending the auction as well as giving people more time to bid on items. It would also change the need for a large venue site if we eliminate setting up the silent auction items. There is an upcoming seminar regarding on-line auctions that will be attended by several of the board members. Another suggestion was moving the auction to spring. Discussion included the pros which were; more time to plan the auction during school months and holding the auction during non-holiday times and the cons which were; more schools hold their auctions in the spring so we will be competing for donations and competing for venue sites. A motion was made to consider moving the auction to spring. It was seconded and approved.

PTG duties—Kendal will email everyone the list of duties. Each person is responsible for adding or deleting duties as they see fit the position. These updated duties will then be returned to Kendal and reviewed at the next meeting.

Treasurer’s Report:

The Budget was presented. New expenses were posted related to the purchase of the new Virus Protection and Firewall for the computers.

7:00 Meeting was adjourned to the General meeting.
