Joe – Welcome back to our last meeting. Thank you for coming back to our June Meeting. We must have an election for next year’s SLT & Board members.

A:     Jennie (SLT Member)- Hi, I’m Jennie Yin. I’m here to run the elections for PA Board members,  School Leadership Team (SLT) members, and Title 1 PAC Chairperson for the upcoming school year 2024/2025.

        The following PA positions are open for the 2024-2025 School Year: 
        President or Co-Presidents     (2 positions open)

        Treasurer or Co-Treasurer (2 positions open) and
        Secretary or Co-Secretary (2 positions open)

        -Nominations for all positions have been taken from the floor during the May meeting. We currently do not have more nominees than positions available. But if any parent expresses an interest to self-nominate for the role today, I will take nominations from the floor when I get to that position. If there are no additional nominees, I will make a motion to approve, followed with a second motion.

        -The only qualification for each of the officers is that the candidate be a parent of a child at PS 130M.

        -The term of office shall be from July 1st through June 30th. Term limits for each officer position for the PA shall be three consecutive one-year terms. A parent may be elected for a fourth term in the same office provided no other parent is nominated and willing to serve.

        A quick note about if you are thinking about joining the PA board and what type of work is involved. You should be able to work collaboratively as a team with a range of parents and guardians. Be willing to fundraise! Work with the goal of fostering PS 130’s administrative team’s vision for the school. Approximately 10-15 hours of volunteer week per week; this can be much more during our holidays and peak fundraising seasons. Be willing to learn A-660 guidelines and ensure compliance.

        Any questions before I open the floor for nominations and voting?

        The first role we will be voting for is the President/ Co-President. Joe Li was nominated in May. If there are additional nominations on the floor, please raise your hand. No one raises their hands.

        Can I have the motion to approve Joe Li for the next term? 

        First motion – 6 people raised their hands

        Second motion – 7 people raised their hands

        We are confirmed Joe Li is our President

        The next role we will be voting for are the Treasurer/ Co-treasurer positions. Alice Chen and Angela Mui were nominated in May. If there are any additional nominations on the floor, please raise your hand. No one raises their hands.

        Angela Mui is not here today.  Can I have a motion to approve Alice Chen for the next term?

        First Motion – 6 people raised their hands 

        Second Motion – 6 people raised their hands 

        We confirm Alice Chen is our Treasurer.

        The following vote will be for Secretary/ Co- Secretary positions. Amy Hu and Lily Wai-Lee were nominated in May. If there are any additional nominations on the floor, please raise your hand. No one raises their hands.

        Joe – For the SLT Team, we need at least 2 parents to run and for Title I, we need 1 parent.

        Jennie – The job description for being a SLT member: we meet 1x a month at 7:45am in an office by the administration office. The SLT team consists of parents, PA board members, and UFT & Administration leaders. The SLT team discusses school policies and plans for the next school year. We also talk about safety concerns from higher to lower levels. These meetings are open meetings, any parent can attend these meetings but are not allowed to talk unless you are a member. I encourage parents to attend these meetings.

        Charlie – I also encourage parents to attend these meetings so they will be updated with the school community.

        Joe – Do we have 2 parents who would like to be a part of the SLT team? Jennie & Charlie are willing to continue to be a part of the SLT Team.

        Joe – Show of hands for Jennie & Charlie to stay on as SLT members.

        1st motion - 7 people raised their hands in favor of this motion.

        2nd motion - 8 people raised their hands in favor of this motion.

        Title I volunteer – Jennie Yin will continue as the Title I parent.

        1st motion – 5 people raised their hands in favor of this motion.

        2nd motion – 5 people raised their hands in favor of this motion.

        Congratulations to our SLT parents and Title I parents. Thank you for your support of the school.

This year’s banquet we raised almost $80,000 after expenses.

Thank you to the staff for doing their staff raffle! 

B:     Mr. Fong- Thank you everyone!

        Almost $80,000, what school can do that. Thank you, Lisa and the PA, can’t thank everyone enough.

        My oldest son is going to B.U. $90,000 a year and he also got a $10,000 writing scholarship

        A big hand for our officers for being the best M.C. this year.

        My door is always open, don’t wait if there are any issues. 

C:  Joe - Final meeting this year, I must thank my team. Thank you for the supporting parents. Thank you Ana & Gloria, this is their last year but hopefully they will come back and support us.
