Next Council Meeting is Monday, October 21st at 6:30pm

The next St. Philip School Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 21st from 6:30-8:00pm in the Learning Commons. Reminder: We will have childcare available during the meeting if you need to bring your children along with you. 

Please have a look at the agenda for this meeting, and the meeting minutes and approved financials from our last meeting. 

**All voting members should plan to attend as we will be voting on the budget for this year, and we need a quorum to complete this.** 

2024-2025 Budget

The main focus of this month's council meeting will be to discuss and approve the budget for the 2024-2025 school year. A preliminary budget has been put together, based on already planned activities for this year, and usual expenditures from past years. Columns for the actual expenditures from the past 2 years are also included for comparison. Please take a moment to review this before the meeting, and we will be going through this together during the meeting. 

Based on the preliminary budget, we have about $12,000 available to allocate to additional student activities and resources. This can be used to increase funding for items already included in the budget (for example, Scientists in School), or for new ideas brought forward to council by parents/guardians or educators. 

Our goal is to allocate all the funds, and vote to approve the budget based on our discussions and input from school administration. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at st.philip.school.council@gmail.com.
