In the past, our PTO board has always had the yearly budget prepared for the first meeting. This is my first year as Pres. and our board had discussed having an idea session the first meeting to gather everyone's opinions and then having the budget prepared to vote on at the second meeting.
Does anyone else do this? What are your opinions for or against it? Am I opening myself up to a heated debate? I don't feel that just a hand full of people should decide where the fundraising money goes for the entire school, but can a fair decision be made with too many different opinions?
