Planning for the 2014-15 school year. The consensus from the meeting was that the
Nominating Committee should also work on a preliminary budget for the 2014-15
school year, to be considered at the June meeting. The PTA scal year ends
6/30/2014 and no money can be spent until a budget is approved for the school
year. In the past, this has meant the PTA cannot spend any money until after the rst
meeting in September; however there are bills and expenses that accrue over that
time period. Approving a budget in June allows the PTA to spend money in July,
August and early September, and allows next years PTA to benet from the
collective experience on the PTA this year. The PTA budget can be amended at ANY
time. The PTA wants to be clear that this is a way we can help next years PTA get
off to a solid start, and the budget can always be modied in September. We will
continue to emphasize this in our communications about planning for next year.
