The first PTO meeting of the 2018-2019 school year is scheduled for Thursday, October 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the school cafeteria. One of the agenda items will be the approval of new bylaws for the organization. The draft bylaws are available for review here.
The bylaws specify the purpose of the organization, the duties of the Executive Board members, procedures for holding funds and accessing those funds, and other aspects of the PTO operations. The current Executive Board has drafted an update of the bylaws to address some outdated elements of the existing version. Some of the notable proposed changes include:
Any PTO member (including any parent/guardian of a Huntington student, as well as all teachers and administrators) may submit comments on the draft bylaws at the October 11 meeting or via email prior to the meeting at huntingtonschoolpto@gmail.com. A simple majority vote at the October 11 meeting is needed to approve the updated bylaws.
