6:37 Opened the meeting with a prayer.

Prior Minutes:  A motion was made to approve the February minutes.  It was seconded and passed.

Pastor’s Report:

• The Leadership committees are struggling to decide on a capital campaign to improve and build a new school.  Five years ago planning was initiated with consultants and subcontractors to evaluate the property.  A three-tier plan was developed ranging from bringing the school up to code to rebuilding most of the school.  The plan was priced from 3 million dollars to 10 million dollars.  At this point, the committees are working toward a plan to rebuild the school completely.  The proposal includes one building that would accommodate Kindergarten through Eighth grade, improved office areas, and upgraded technology.  The current buildings could be updated to use for meeting space and the hall could be used for larger functions.  In order for this to proceed, a well-defined plan is needed as well as support from the school families and the parish.

Principals Report:

• An update was requested regarding changes in the middle school for next year.  Questions were specific to the vice-principal position and eighth grade teacher position. 

Chairperson’s Report: 

• Auction planning;-The auction will move to spring and the proposed date is April 28, 2007.  More people were interested in helping chair the auction with that change.  There will be a detailed binder for each auction lead so volunteers can evaluate a position before assuming that position.  New venues are under consideration.  There was a proposal to move the silent auction to an on-line event and that is being researched.  Several different mentors from other school’s auctions were provided and those names and numbers will be passed on to the chairs of those committees. 

• A’s game- There was positive feedback from this year’s game so the event will be planned again for next year.  Dates will be decided.

• Fundraiser coordinators—Wrapping paper will be coordinated by Dan and Jill Kelly again.  Nina Arruda has accepted the position of service hour coordinator again.  Coordinators for the Christmas luncheon and for Hospitality still need to be found.

• Fund-in-need—Follow-up was requested to make sure that families are aware that the computer tables are completed and in the classrooms.

Treasurer’s Report:

• The Budget was presented and reviewed.

Old Business:

• Board member duties were reviewed.  No questions were asked.

• Beach Party Sock Hop—A suggestion was made to change the sock hop to a beach party theme this year.  Lisa volunteered to organize favors, decorations, and costume contest prizes.  Rick will organize the DJ.  Kendal, Virginia, and Lori will organize the refreshments. 

• May General Meeting—Ms. Maino will speak about the changes for middle school next year, including introducing new teachers.  Research is being done to provide a “give-away” at that meeting.

8:45   Meeting was adjourned with a prayer.
