CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS
-
The
Association is still working on the air
conditioning. Out of five bids, only
one came back. The others said they did
not have enough time to prepare the bids
before the Easter deadline. Two
companies have since re-bid and will
have a bid in by next week. No one will
be able to complete it before the summer
vacation.
-
The
sidewalk improvement in the back has
been completed and a motion was made to
return the $1,000.00 allocated for this
back into the account, since it has
already been paid for. Motion was
seconded and the "ayes" won.
-
The
sink hole in the back parking lot will
be taken care of next week when the
weather is expected to improve.
OLD
BUSINESS
-
As a
follow up to the insurance money
received from our losses, Father Ward
sent a letter to the Archdiocese of
Washington requesting that the money be
used to pay down our loan for the new
roof and windows and the rest be used
for tuition assistance. he will notify
us as soon as they replay to his
request.

Bill
Smith requested $250.00 be allocated to
the Executive Committee to pay for end
of the school year awards. The motion
was seconded and passed.
NEW
BUSINESS

Donna
Wrenn motioned for a new copy machine
for the teacher's lounge. The old one
is currently held together with duct
tape. Before money was allocated, Donna
Arnold and Janet Fowler will investigate
cost.
-
Mrs.
Cresce asked that if there are any
changes to your child's normal dismissal
routine, that parents notify the school
by 2:30 PM. There have been some close
calls lately and it has become a safety
issue.

Association will send a fruit basket to
Father Ward who is recovering from a
broken hip.
