New Business:
New rules will be adopted immediately for everyone's protection.
* The PTO room will be locked and access will be limited to the PTO Executive Officers and thoes
accompanied by them. If any PTO member needs to use the PTO Room for a RTO function, they should
feel welcome to call any Executive officer.
*All purchases will require an official receipt for reimbursement, and that receipt will be signed by the purchaser
and an executive officer as the inventory is checked into the PTO room.
*Only PTO Executive Officers will be able to handle money, including Secret Santa Store. Bonding of the executive
officers is being explored as another saftey precaution.
*The Rule of 'Two checks-two signatures' will apply to all PTO functions, including the counting of Box Tops
for contests, etc.
