2019-2020 Auction

Ms. Sky Johnson and Ms. Adrienne Butzer updated the Board on Auction planning. Given the current state of emergency of our community in pandemic response, particularly with unprecedented unemployment and financial instability, the Auction Committee recommends that the Auction be cancelled. In its place, they provided alternative fundraising activities and timing, and in the interim focus on community. 

The Board discussed the school's financial position and funding and/or loan opportunities to offset as well as landscape of school giving. 

ACTION ITEM: Ms. Johnson to email Ms. Christa Billings with the plan for donations, tickets, sponsorships. 
R. Timmons made a motion to cancel the 2019-2020 Auction scheduled for May 9, 2020.
