SCLS Employee Handbook: K. Goeden noted there are revisions that need to be

preliminary review, and then have the coordinators do the same. Changes will
then be reviewed by an attorney. The SCLS Personnel Committee will hold a
virtual meeting in early December to review the changes, so that the final
draft can be shared with the full board for approval at its December 20
meeting.
Announcements:
A question was raised about the bill for payments and who is responsible for reviewing them monthly. In January, we will provide a sign-up sheet for folks to determine what month may work best for them to review the bills and that list will be posted to the website. It was suggested that at the end of every board meeting the next month’s bill reviewer be announced.
