Summary

The committee acknowledged PTA donations across schools and noted that one gift on the new donations sheet exceeds the $2,000 threshold and therefore will go to the full board for approval; Miss Brown also summarized March transfers including a $6,200 purchase to buy ADA tables to avoid recurring rental costs.

Miss Brown presented a new gifts-and-donations sheet and thanked the PTAs for their support across the district. She told the committee that most donations fall under the routine threshold but that the last item on the list exceeds $2,000 and therefore requires a full board vote. Committee members thanked PTAs for enrichment programming and community partnership.

Miss Brown also showed the March transfer sheet and said the gross transfers for March were just under $42,000, mainly operational moves at the high school (competition travel, instrument repair). She explained a $6,200 transfer to purchase ADA tables for AP testing and college fair usage instead of continuing to rent the tables; a committee member asked that administration track repeated operating purchases that might aggregate into a capital'level threshold over time.

The committee did not vote on the donation that exceeds the threshold during this meeting; Miss Brown said the item will be placed on the full board agenda for approval.
