V. New Business

A. Bylaws Vote (Lacey) : Question from teachers when order supplies for July for next year, can we still submit for this year. Response that all receipts need to be given to the Treasurer by end of fiscal year July 2025. Question: Carnival purchases need to be submitted to President. What is the reasoning for this change? The issue is that there are subcommittees making purchases, we need one person to ensure we stay within budget. Overall Yes with one no vote out of 14. Bylaws approved.

Plan is to create a memorial for them as well as previous staff member. Mrs. Marshall has been in communication with the family. Suggestion is to place a new memorial where the checkers/chess area is so that’s is more visible. Request is to have volunteers to help with going through garden prior to construction. Lindsey to create a list of tasks needing to be accomplished. Petitioning for fruit trees and grapes to stay. Process is going to take a year until completion. Where are we going to house all of the equipment for that year long process. People are looking into storage options such as a barn for storage options.
