Since we are requesting to amend the budget and because we do not have another meeting until May 11, we need to specifically vote on this at a quick 10-15 minute *virtual* meeting tomorrow, Monday, April 25 at 7:30pm.
This meeting will only be for voting purposes. We will need a quorum of at least 11 members to vote. Your attendance is appreciated!
Thank you!

"The budget is an annual plan. It is only an estimate of expenses and income. Plans will change. Therefore, the budget may have to change or be amended. No budget should be so rigid that it cannot be easily adjusted to meet the changing needs faced by PTAs. The budget may be adjusted (amended or reallocated) by:
- Vote of the general membership.
- Vote of the board of directors acting on behalf of the membership, between meetings of the membership.
- When the board of directors amends the budget, it must be sure that it is acting with the permission of the general membership through the standing rules or a budget notation.
- If authorized by the PTA’s standing rules or in the budget itself, the board may be able to reallocate funds from one purpose to another.
