March 10 PTO Meeting by Sarah Curran https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y Made with a stroke of good luck en-us 2022-03-11 01:46:06 UTC 2022-03-11 02:52:49 UTC hello@padlet.com Do not like the idea of the PTO covering things that the district and state do. It causes inequity among schools https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089616807 2022-03-11 02:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089616807 I struggle with letting go of anything. It is hard to think of anything as dispensable. smcurran1 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089617567 2022-03-11 02:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089617567 There's already a sentiment that the PTO isn't inclusive.

Would require work and a focus, including grant writing.]]> 2022-03-11 02:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089618729 These budget cuts are emotional. It is hard to think of our school without a gardener or other important things that provide a well rounded education. smcurran1 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089619489 2022-03-11 02:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089619489 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089619514 Would teachers be willing to trade gift cards and supplies and other "soft" things in order to have more staff support?

We have some highly resourced families that we did not have when our family started here. smcurran1 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089623187 2022-03-11 02:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089623187 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089624513 It's too heavy a lift to set this kind of a goal for a parent organization. Too large of an amount

Our community thrives because of them. What if I put in the chunk of money I might pay for private school into the PTO? This budget crisis may be a temporary thing (3 years?)]]> 2022-03-11 02:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089626502 We have a significant decline in student population and it seems like we can't raise over $200k. smcurran1 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627194 2022-03-11 02:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627194 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627212 this changes the whole dynamic of the pro]]> 2022-03-11 02:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627212 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627307 More focus on fundraising may present more equity issues and more of a divide in our community.]]> 2022-03-11 02:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627307 It seems like we may be trading a lot of little things for a portion of a position. smcurran1 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627446 2022-03-11 02:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089627446 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089629758 $200, 000 seems doable, not sure about beyond that.]]> 2022-03-11 02:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089629758 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089630306 We need to fund these incredible humans.]]> 2022-03-11 02:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089630306 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089630632 For three years we could probably do this to overcome shortfalls and maintain our community priorities. ]]> 2022-03-11 02:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089630632 https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089630698 we could do it if we decided to. is the strong sense of volunteerism going to continue to keep this going?]]> 2022-03-11 02:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smcurran1/sbaoteummyvu783y/wish/2089630698 The Americorps position and the gardener are less expensive ways of keeping adults on staff.
