Our meeting was called to order at 8:13 A.M. by Jacki and Angel. Board member Mitch Sylves-Berry motioned to merge the middle school P.T.A. into our elementary P.T.A., thereby creating one PreK-8th grade P.T.A. unit. Dancy Baliesteri seconded the motion. Donna Gates voiced her belief that this would create unity, as well as one P.T.A. resource for the elementary school community. Pam Louis mentioned that the result would be a more cohesive board. Maribel stated that the new structure would create ease of communication within the board. David Neilsen called a vote on this issue. The result of the vote: 25 Yeas and no oppositions.
Mitch motioned to rename the E.P.T.A. unit to Horsemen P.T.A., within IRS regulations and guidelines. Kelley Anniccherico seconded the motion. David mentioned that this name change is necessary because with the merge, we are no longer simply an elementary P.T.A. unit. Jen Bayliss stated that the name change would be more reflective of our community. Kelley, our treasurer, advised the board that the merge and name change would be easier from an accounting perspective. Leah Mc Vey called for a vote for the name change. The result of the vote: 25 Yeas and no oppositions
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 AM; our next meeting will be Friday, December 18th.
