At our executive board meetings, we follow an agenda similar to a general meeting. We talk about activities to present at the next meeting, we make reports about what has happened since the last meeting. We discuss the treasurer's report, the budget, any communication from teachers/staff/school board.
At our general meeting, our committees report their activities in a short, concise manner. We solicit volunteers for activities in the upcoming months. We report on past events, treasurer's report, budget, and any communications to our group. We also give the superintendent/principal/vice principal a chance to add whatever they want.
Our Leadership meetings basically set the agenda for the full membership meeting. We review the treasurers report and look ahead on the school calendar for events that need attention and or discussion. We also use the Leadership meetings as time to check procedures for compliance to the bi-laws.
I'm sorry I have lots of questions. There has been no records kept for our PTO, so I have nothing to go on. What do you discuss at executive board meetings and what is discussed in general meetings? Our principal is new this year also, and we are both going by the seat of our pants!!!
