PERRYDALE PARENTS CLUB
MEETING MINUTES
December 15, 2009 at 6:45pm Mr. Dugan’s Room

Meeting called to order at 6:50 pm with the following present: Anna Scharf, Helle Rudenklau, Nancy Johnston, Jennifer Moran, Grace Shewmake, Anne Riley, Miriam Yovino, Leanna Deters, Robin Stoutt, Chris Gubrud, Lisa Mitchell, Brooke Spencer, Corinne Wallace, Dianna Godbey, and Susi Mendez.
Greeting: Minutes from previous meeting of November 17, 2009 were approved as written.
Budget: Current Balances: Checking $2,200 Money Market $18,486
One outstanding request and Helle turned in a few receipts
Jennifer presented profit and Loss Statement July-Nov.2009 and also a Profit & Loss Budget Performance July-Nov. 2009.
Anna made the motion to approve this budget, 2nd by Nancy. Motion carries to approve the budget.
Strategic Planning Session: Current By-Laws were handed out. Helle read aloud our Mission Statement. Open to comments on the Mission Statement. No comments were made. Helle stated that she heard PPC started as a means to get a school library. Robin stated that it was originally started to purchase math curriculum books for $20,000.
Staff Input Session: Robin addressed the funding request procedure. The reason that she signs off on our current funding request form is so that she can be sure and check the school budget first. She and the staff do a lot of research before turning in the requests. Once received by PPC they are urgent needs and PPC should trust that she and the staff have already done the research.
Robin also stated that the budget has been cut by 20% this year. She stated that the software budget that pays for virus protection was short and that these costs were higher this year.

Miss Riley said that the costs had also changed for the SRI tests that go with the books and software (previously purchased by PPC).

Robin asked if Miriam would still be the staff liaison to PPC for financial requests as the staff member could not be expected to attend meetings to request in person. Jennifer mentioned the PPC perspective. We often have questions that Miriam can not answer. Others’ input was how parents like to have input and to know exactly where the funds are being used. It is important that the school administration not get to decide, but PPC does. It was also pointed out that most PPC member also hold full time jobs and family obligations and that having a staff liaison takes away the interaction.
Discussion on funding request process: Robin asked how does the PPC “wish list” work. Leanna went to the staff last year and asked them to pick three things. We also added from the School Wide Improvement Day ideas and our own suggestions. The PPC voted and put together a priority list from that.
Robin is worried that as funds get tighter and how will it be equal for every teacher. Jennifer stated that the staff should not take offense if a request doesn’t pass because PPC is a democracy and it is the fairest way (it may not be equal for each teacher).
Grace stated that PPC used to give each teacher/staff member $100/year for whatever they wanted.
Corinne stated that she didn’t think PPC should need a wish list and should focus more on the basic needs.
Mrs. Godbey stated that she uses the SRI software grades 3-8. She tests all her students at the beginning of the school year and that our license only covers a certain number of students. Brooke stated that she has used the program twice already this year for most of her students and that Mr. Deters uses the program as well.

Robin Stoutt stated more than once that she would like to offer PPC a focus.

PPC stressed the need to “amend” the funding request form to make things more clean. Anna agreed to help with updating the form and make sure that it has a revision date on it and all old copies replaced. It also needs to be placed on our blog page. Finally, someone from the PPC needs to attend a future staff meeting to make sure that the “process” is clear to staff and answer any questions that they may have regarding the PPC funding process.
Old Business: Previous funding request which was denied for the library state book set. Miss Riley stated that she will re-submit the request later.
New Business: Grants- Robin stated that she would need to know what the grant was about first to be sure that it wasn’t already in the budget. They also don't want to apply for grants that may place a heavy time burden on staff to comply with reporting requirements. Some grants are more work than they are worth. All grant writing must be pre-approved by her first. PPC Members agreed that they would look into grant opportunities and take responsibility for writing the grants but that they must be approved by Robin and by the PPC board first.
New Funding Requests:
1)Chis Gubrud presented a request for 24 sets of new girls’ white basketball uniforms. The current uniforms are on their 7th year of use and many of the numbers are peeling off. The total cost would be $2,000 but have obtained funding from MAPS fund, carnival, and school budget for all but $250. The current uniforms will be handed down to the middle school. A community member has donated the funds to purchase news boys uniforms. The school budget has been cut to $800 per year (?) for $1800 per year and alternates between girls, boys and by sport.
Jennifer asked Lisa about the new Booster’s Club. Lisa said it is still new and just getting started and currently only have $300. They would like to begin helping next school year 2010-1011.

Anna asked Chris how soon would the uniforms be available. He stated that they should arrive by January 1st. Corinne asked how long does the middle school use the handed down uniforms. Chris answered about five years. It sounds like a long time but our middle school uniforms still look nicer than most other schools. There is no budget for middle school uniforms. They have always used the handed down ones.

Jennifer made a motion to grant, 2nd by Grace. Motion carried for $250.

2) Re-submission of tech support request for $750 for the SRI program. Nancy made a motion to grant, 2nd by Jennifer. Motion carried to fund $750.
Funding and Community Events/Auction Report: Nancy reported that donations continue to come in. Many previous donors have declined this year most likely due to the economy. Lisa asked if room parents should be contacted to be in charge of the auction basket for their classrooms. PPC is still waiting for a catering quote from BJ but so far the Dallas High School catering class is the only quote received that falls into our budget. Robin asked about individuals sponsoring tables again this year. In the past it was fun to do and that each sponsor decorated and provided the dinner ware for their table. This idea will be taken to the auction committee’s next meeting.
Hospitality: Robin will make a “cookie calendar” and put it in the PPC box for Susie.
Closing: Meeting adjourned at 9:10pm Next meeting will be January 19th at 6:45pm in Mr. Dugan’s room. Next Auction Meeting January 14, 2010 at 6:45pm in Mr. Dugan’s room.

October 2009 Minutes

PERRYDALE PARENTS CLUB
MEETING MINUTES
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Mr. Dugan’s Room

Meeting called to order at 7:00pm with the following present: Helle Rudenklau, Diann Washburn, Mariam Yovino, Grace Shewmake, Kasia Marsters, Don Marsters, Julie Burg, Corinne Wallace, Susie Mendez, Jennifer Moran, Beth Bonnett, Nancy Johnston, Ginger Perkins, Paula Vincent, Marilyn Smith.

Minutes for September 2009 were approved with two corrections (under new business we deleted “PPC would pay $10/hr” and under fundraising and community events we corrected the number planned for the BBQ to be “300”)

Financial Report: Checking: $11,410.95
Money Market $9, 689.88
Jennifer’s computer is currently down and so the budget will be available at next meeting. No outstanding bills.
New Funding Requests: Middle school volleyball jerseys: The middle school volleyball jerseys> were 15 years old this year, and were "unacceptable" according to the> moms. One of the mom's understood (through the coach) that they had the> ok to go ahead and purchase new uniforms, which they then did (30 tops> and 20 shorts) for $995. It turned out the administration had not> approved this purchase and so the school would not fund it. Furthermore,> normal procedure would be to fundraise before a purchase so that was not> an option as well. Also, in the current economic climate, the school> does not want groups to request money from parents. The moms have raised> $585 so far to cover the cost of the jerseys. They will need an> additional $370 to reimburse the mom who purchased them. Motion made by> Grace, 2nd by Jennifer to fund the balance remaining (after continued> effort for money) at the next PPC meeting. Motion carried to pay the> balance ($370 or less). Helle will contact Lisa Mitchell to see if the> Boosters have made any money yet, and if they might be willing to fund> some/all of the balance.
*Clarification from the administration: The school had been told the jerseys would be donated with no cost to the district or the parents, which is one of the reasons they did not want to fund them after the fact. There is a rotation for new uniforms, and it was not time for the MS uniforms. Also, there is a procedure for fundraising. Fundraising efforts have to be cleared by the school and funds raised before a purchase, not after the fact. None of this was done.

Kindergarten scrapbooks: Paula Vincent requested for $300 to help cover the cost of 17 scrapbooks for this year. Several members present agreed that the scrapbooks are kept by the students for many years and are educational for the kindergarten students. Motion made by Mrs. Yovino, 2nd by Jennifer. Motion passed for $300

New Business: Dallas Chamber of Commerce has invited organizations to rent a table at an upcoming Halloween event. PPC declined because Perrydale has the upcoming Carnival.

Vote on Officers: Grace nominates Helle Rudenklau as the new president. Mrs. Yovino nominates Anna Scharf as the new Vice President. Both Accepted the nominations (Helle had spoken with Anna by phone earlier). Motion carried with a unanimous vote.

School Assemblies: Perrydale School has cut all funding for assemblies. Usually $2,000/yr. Mr. Deters will be meeting with the staff to help plan them if we are able to fund them. We agreed that we prefer school-wide assemblies (not just elementary) and we would like for them to be approved individually rather that as a whole.

Fundraising and Community Events: Auction!!! Shawna will not be leading the auction this year. We will miss her! Our first Auction meeting will be held on Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 6:45 pm in Mr. Dugan’s room.

Back to School BBQ review: definitely was a success! Next year we will plan for more food and find out about other school activities in advance because that added to our turn out.

e-scrip: Diann reports that we now have 112 enrolled. She had a nice write-up in the school newsletter. We are currently receiving $1,200/yr

Spirit wear: Mrs. Yovino reports that the school will be selling hoodies, crew shirts, short and long sleeved T-shirts and that they are sending out a flyer on Thursday. So if PPC wants to sell other items such as stadium chairs, umbrellas, blankets, or coffee mugs she can help us find a vendor.

Hospitality: Fall sports awards not yet scheduled

Meeting adjourned at 8:08 pm. Next meeting has been changed to Tuesday, November 17th at 6:45pm Mr. Dugan’s room. The next Auction meeting will be Thursday, November 12th at 6:45pm Mr. Dugan’s room
