WHY SUB COMMITTEE?


Refer UPDATE dated 09.01.2012.

It is learnt that Principal, despite strong objections raised by PTA vice chairman, secretary and a member, went ahead with the proposed 11th January PTA executive meeting and   decided on the four issues of subcommittee formation, uniform, transport and sponsorship for needy children. Subsequently on the 28th  January 2012 PTA executive meeting which was held on a holiday, with sufficient notice and detailed discussions, with all concerned, these issues were further discussed in detail. (Please see minutes below).

WHY COMMITTEE FOR SPONSORSHIP FOR NEEDY CHILDREN? 

Parents may recall that AGM dated 16th October 2011 had decided to do away with PTA subcommittees and co-option to PTA on strong grounds. Now again, School Administration imposed these things on the parents. Parents also may recall  the questions raised in the 16th AGM meeting about diversion of PTA funds. It is now confirmed  that owing to pressure from parents, an amount of Rs 2,29,060/= was credited back to PTA account on 28.11.2011, making the total in PTA account to around Rs. 4.5 lacs. Reportedly, some PTA parents representatives whose selective meeting was held by the principal on 6th January 2012, are keeping their own lists of "smart" parents who want to avail 50% fee reduction from the PTA fund under the garb of "needy children". These parents have already reportedly made dealings (under what ?), with a few of the above Parents representatives, with the strong support of the School Administration, who seem to ultimately benefits out of all these murky deals.According to one of the Parent's representatives, the above PTA fund is to be exhausted by 31st March 2012.. This would mean that about 23 parents would benefit from it. 

HOW WOULD WE CONCLUDE WHO IS NEEDY?
