Tape is looking for people to head committees for various different events. Family movie night/breakfast buddies.

Brainstorm for ideas to spend money on hand. Heather thought about a grant program for teachers and/or other staff. To seek a grant the teacher/staff would have to have a plan a present it at a meeting to be voted on. This is something that would not go in affect until the next year. In depth discussion about how we can and should spend “tape” funds. Should it be given to teachers, can it be done fairly? Should it be used for students only? This item is tabled for a future meeting.
