PTO MEETING
TOMORROW!
THURSDAY MARCH 26
9 AM- PLEASE NOTE THE TIME
Please join us for the first PTO meeting of 4th quarter. Our guest speaker will be Dan O'Brien, CFO of SUSD. Mr. O'Brien will be giving a synopsis of the budget, and how the recently passed state budget will impact us here in SUSD.
While the passage of the override has guaranteed higher teacher salaries, the return of full special in the elementary schools, and lower class sizes, the state's austere budget will still require cuts over $3 million to the SUSD budget. Please come and get information on how this may impact school next year.
Also at this meeting we will be voting on next' years' PTO Executive Board. The proposed slate is:
President -
Amanda McCauley/Lori Arndt
Advisor -
Carole Haig
Treasurer -
Deb Stamens
Secretary -
Lisa Binsfeld
VP Communications -
Kathy Sandler
VP Community Relations -
Michelle Himmelberg
VP Fundraising-
