BOARD VOTE NEEDED TO APPROVE YEAR 3 PLAN AND BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017/2018

Year 3 Plan
Scholarships - Plan would be to increase scholarship dollars to $22,000.  This may be a combination of increased number of scholarships or increased dollar amount for a scholarship.

Sponsorships - Based on the conversation that Laurie and Lesley had with Darren and Joyce (see attached notes) with consensus of the Executive Committee, we propose:

1. Annually Adopt a Project (like the desks last year) - We recommend adopting a special project each year and this year it is the playground with the goal being $5,000 (from the fund a need at the gala).  Then we would open up in May of each fiscal year ideas of projects to adopt with selection and approval at our July meeting each year.  Other adopt a project ideas include: updated tools for automotive, updated software for graphic arts, etc.  The key would be to rotate it around the district so that different programs benefit.

2. We discuss and identify how much we want available for smaller granting of projects (maybe $5,000). We review our current application and put it out to staff to complete and turn in by September 15th with review and approval by board at the September board meeting.  The Executive Committee recommends grandfathering in activities the benefit multiple programs like the Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, Kick Ball Tournament, and Teacher Appreciation.  The remainder of the funds would be part of the competitive application process.

Mentoring - Per our discussions with Darren and Joyce, the Executive Committee recommends $5,000 to be granted to District 288 to help staff and operate the mentoring program including supplies needed for it.
