Freebairn
proposed tabling consideration of the June and July High School
Activity Fund Reports until the Greenhouse figures could be
checked out.
Kile commented
that he had received a letter asking for a donation to send
some Shiloh cheerleaders to Europe. It was questioned why the
cheerleading fund balance is zero if they are raising money
for the trip. Principal Hettmansberger said this trip is not
school related or sponsored and they were told not to fund raise
as if it was. The board questioned why the Junior High and High
School Cheerleading Fund balances were zero last year and again
this year when they do fund raising events throughout the year.
Those sponsors have taken it upon themselves to handle those
funds. Principal Hettmansberger will address this issue with
the sponsors.
