Monthly PA Meeting and Annual Election 
 
Here is the agenda for this coming Tuesday's Parents Association meeting, with approximate time-frames.
 
1. Approve minutes & PA budget update & vote on appropriations committee pending grant list  (10 minutes)
 
2. Nominations committee:  we only have a contested election for the position of Co-Presidents -- brief speeches by Co-President candidates before voting commences (10 minutes total)

3. Principal Teitel and SLT will report of Title 1 and call for parent vote of approval on how new Title 1 grant will be utilized (15 minutes)

4. Parent-to-parent college panel (last 45 to 60 minutes of meeting).  This "college confidential" panel will discuss such issues as what the participants' experiences were like, how things went right -- or wrong, and what they might have done differently had they known what they know now. 
 
 
Join us on Tuesday to hear about the Title 1 spending plan, to vote on that plan and on next year's Executive Board, and for the informative college-related panel.
