This area is used for keeping track of budgets, status of
budget and anything related to spending of funds. the
intent of this area is to communicate the data. Since
building tables is a long process, most of the spreadsheets
are simply taken from Excel and saved as a web page. Hence,
please forgive the formating and visual imperfections.
The process in previous years was for technology to submit
a request for release of funds from the board prior to
their meeting. The board would review and sanction for
approval at the next General PTA meeting. If the release of
funds was approved at the general meeting, items purchased
according to the release of funds request would be
reimbursed or paid.
2005-2006 has changed the process. The board has moved to a
method of releasing funds twice a year. While making the
process easier, it does not provide the PTA membership for
as much visibility on expenditures prior to them occurring.
2005-2006 year budget included the final lease payment on
the Mac Lab lease. This lease payment took almost half of
the year's budget. In addition, an 8 Pack of eMac's from
last year was never submitted to the PTA for reimbursement
by Oak/District as well as a color laser printer. It is
still undetermined if they will come out of this year's
budget or the PTA will provide additional funds for this
year which were under budget but approved last fiscal year.
