Chip Minto started the motion to vote in the new committee. Jennie Steffie seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Bylaws Update:
Tyler will send bylaws suggestions to new board prior to next meeting.
Highlights: He tried to streamline expenditure voting for boosters. Full board will vote on general PTO items. Boosters need to be unanimous of booster co-chairs and PTO chair and co-chair. If not unanimous, the full board will vote and a two-thirds majority is required.
Google forms will be used for voting, instead of email, going forward.

Lacy Minto is the CCS events coordinator. Please communicate with her regarding PTO events. Set-up/tear-down schedules need to be communicated (and should also be added to a calendar) to avoid conflicting events.
Sports Boosters Update
Sports boosters should be responsible for spirit wear. Chip would like to have that in the concession area and also sell snacks at football games and other events.
