The meeting was opened with a prayer at 7:30 PM.

• Secretary’s Report: The secretary's report of the meeting minutes for January 29 are posted on the school website.
 
• Treasurer’s Report:
There is $4040.80 in the bank at this time. Outstanding gym time bills amount to $2150. Gym expenditures are up from previous years. Thirty percent of our budget is for gym space. We also have paid $8000 for new uniforms in the past two years. We should be receiving $1500 from PTO in the next month or two.

• Fundraisers:
• We made $400 at the bake sale at St. Max fish Fry. Thank you to those who organized, worked and supplied the baked goods.
  
• Spiritwear was sold at boys’ basketball games and open house. We still have an inventory to sell. Angie E. will be selling spiritwear at the Race For Education and FunFest.
 
• Flower Sale- We should clear $900 from the flower sale. This down a little from last year but the weather affected the sales.
 
• Boys Basketball Wrap Up: The 6^th grade team won the city championship. The 7^th grade team made it to the final four in the city tournament. Equipment and uniforms are to be turned in.
 
• Girls Volleyball Wrap Up: Ann E.’s 4^th grade girls won their city tournament. We had three league championships, both 6^th grade teams and the 5^th grade team. Uniforms and equipment are being collected.
 
• Baseball: We have a 4^th grade and a 5^th grade team this year. The 6^th grade did not have enough girls register to field a softball team this year. The dirt needs to be spread on the field and necessary uniforms have been ordered.
 
• Banquet Planning: The committee presented the board with an update on banquet plans. The food will remain similar to last year. The registration will be worked differently with meal tickets being given to each family who RSVP. Kathy C. and Connie M. are co-chairing the event with Amy Z. handling reservations and Teri D. the awards. They are working on securing a DJ.
 
• Upcoming Elections: Most nominees have been contacted either personally or been left a message. We are waiting to hear back from several people. Rich C will put together the ballot after he receives a short bio on those who agree to run. We hope to have the ballots to the families by the end of March.
 
• Volunteers Needed for the next year
• Gym Coordinator
• Boys Basketball Coordinator
• Uniform/Equipment Coordinator - Tony L. volunteered to take this on next year.
• Girls Volleyball Coordinator Marianne L. is interested in this position
 
• Old Business:
  • We need input from George’s meeting with his contact at Mercy about the status of St. Francis for next year as we need to evaluate gym spaces. It was mentioned that we should pursue Glendale Elementary or other possible Princeton City Schools. We should check out Lakota elementary schools also.
  • Brenda T. and Wendy W., the girls basketball coordinators need to be contacted to begin working on the A/B tryouts that will be needed for the upcoming 6^th grade.
   
• New Business:
• Kim B. asked the board to clarify the section of the handbook which discusses late registration. It does not say in the handbook under what circumstances the board will accept late registrations.
• There was also some discussion about citing examples of unsportsmanlike conduct in the handbook. It was decided that is was sufficient as it is.
• Joe mentioned that at present the school pays $15 for each person who is fingerprinted for the archdiocese. It is possible that this policy will change in the future.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 PM
