We have always been open to getting ideas for spending from all the parents at the school. As per our bylaws and common procedure, the general population has been invited to share and vote on their ideas for spending the money you helped raise. We find ourselves in a particularly unique position in that we have more money than usual. We have been actively trying to get input on spending that money.
With that goal in mind, and having had very little success in gathering that input from parents, Tuesday I had a meeting with the staff at Haultain asking for their input on programming. Outlining the best procedures for getting funding to staff seems to have triggered some ideas and enthusiasm for spending.
Our next meeting is on February 18th and I'm hoping that a number of spending ideas will be brought forward. Keep an eye out for the agenda and attend the meeting if you want to be involved in voting on how we will be spending our hard earned cash.
Email me with any questions you may have or post ideas in the comments section for discussion.
