Call to Order: 6:04pm.

Attendance: Laura Grijalva, Cathy Comstock, Kim Spitzer, Liz Thomas, Peter Powers-Lake, Arcie Hanna, Juana Ambrose

Minutes from October 14, 2015 voted on and accepted.

President Report- Laura Grijalva: Market on the Move (MOM) update: school would receive only 10% or $1 per person for hosting the event. Also contacted Produce on Wheels (POW), they’re dates are already filled. From a “fundraiser” perspective, the kick back is not very good when considering the time and effort needed to run this event. Although these events bring many benefits to the community by providing and redistributing food, the overall feeling of the PTA is not to move forward with this event at this time. Campus Clean Up update: Great turn out by students and parents, weather was perfect and we got a lot done! Laura asked to be reimbursed $40.00 for mulch that she ordered. Cathy second and request was passed.

Principal Report – Cathy Comstock: JTED Programs: Encourages everyone to become more active and supportive for our JTED programs that we are in danger of losing. Campus Clean Up: She went down to the boys locker room and was absolutely just “blown away” and “appalled” by the conditions that the athletes must endure, it goes far beyond what just paint can cover up. Rincon is in desperate need of an update in that area. Football field is now handicapped assessable and the north gym got a new floor, but it’s time that the locker rooms got a face lift and is asking the district to get involved with it. Positive discussion was brought up about getting UHS involved as a joint effort committee since both schools use the facilities, Cathy said dialogue has begun with Herman House regarding this issue. Overall all going well on the Ranch.

Treasurer Report – Peter Powers-Lake: Budget: currently have $1,207.81.

Secretary Report – Kim Spitzer: nothing to report at this time.

New Business: Duel Volleyball Program: Arcie Hanna had a request from Dual Volleyball, a local youth volleyball league, about renting and using the gym on Sundays for practice. After speaking with the district advisor in this area, it could be run through the PTA and could be used as a way to bring in money for the PTA. A PTA member would need to be on site during the hours open to the league and facilities would need to be available such as the locker room. Lots of discussion regarding time involved, rental fee and having a school administer on site with keys to open the facility. No decision made at this time. Fall Fling: November 13, 2015. Cost is $15 to Choir for a table. Arcie Hanna and Kim Spitzer will sell spirit gear that night.

Teacher Holiday Brunch: Friday, December 18, 2015. 10AM (grading day) *** Need sweets, treats, fruit*** Laura will bring an egg breakfast hot dish, Kim will bring in a roasted potato dish, Arcie will bring in something sweet. Laura has two $50 gift cards to raffle off to teachers (PTA members). Set up in the library east wing.

Meeting Adjourned: 7:07pm.

Next Meeting: Monday, December 14, 2015 * 6pm * RHS Library east wing.

President Report – Laura Grijalva: September Minutes voted on and passed. Campus Clean Up: Saturday, October 31^st 9-12pm. Sign in sheets for everyone who works, work stations will be posted as to where help is needed i.e. weeding, raking, painting. TUSD will be providing water and sending a paint crew to help with the stairwells. James Baker from TUSD Adapt-A-School will be at the event. Market on the Move: is sponsored by the 3000 Club and works to provide fresh fruit & vegetables to the community. It is a farmer’s market atmosphere and rotates to different location sites in town. Rincon has an opportunity to be a host site for MOM on the 3^rd Saturday of each month beginning with November 21^st. It requires up to 20 volunteers to help set up and to work the tables, and runs from 7am-11am. Host sites keep the $10 donation to get into the MOM event, the $10 gets 60 lbs. of food!! There was A LOT of discussion regarding hosting this event, with the focus being on not having the volunteers needed to help run the site for all the dates needed. A compromise was made to see if we could host an event on Saturday, November 21^st and February 20^th. Laura will look into this and get back to us at the next PTA meeting. **If anyone is interested in helping with this event, please contact Laura Grijalva at slgrijalva@msn.com

Secretary Report – Kim Spitzer: Update on State PTA training that each officer had to complete before September 30^th. Which we all did!!

Principal’s Report – Cathy Comstock: State budget cuts for next year will greatly impact our school and students. These cuts will affect our CTE classes such as fire science, auto, yearbook and computers. We need continued funding for CTE!!

Because of our numbers between both schools, our sports teams will be competing in 6A Division next year, some teams are trying to petition down. New Coordinator of Security and Facilities – Larry Childreen, welcome!! We should have 8 monitors on campus but have 6, hopefully to be fully staffed by November 2^nd. State budget cuts for next year will greatly impact our school!!!

New Business: Arcie Hanna brought up discussion about bringing Duel Volleyball, like Zona, here to Rincon, with practice times being held on Sundays in the gym.
