PTA Budget Preview
Proposed PTA Income & Expense Projections for 2015-16 School Year
The Claremont PTA Budget Committee has worked many hours to assemble a draft budget for the 2015-16 school year, including income from Claremont Fund donations, our annual auction fundraiser, the Ride for a Reason cycling rally, the Dads Club pancake breakfast and other fundraising activities. Proposed expenses include teacher allocations for classroom supplies, the mini-grant fund, funding for our school library, outdoor education funding and a $60,000 allocation to help the administration retain an additional teacher as state funding cuts are forcing a reduction in teaching staff at our school.
During the PTA meeting on Thursday, the Budget Committee will present their recommendations, and members will have an opportunity to discuss the figures before putting the proposed budget up for approval by the PTA membership.
