We received a sample school contract form from the Washington Mechanics Association. With some minor changes, I think Rick and I can develop this into an 'Instructor Contract Form' for use next year.
Discussion was held concerning using Visa card payment with on-line registration next year. This would make payments more timely and convenient for all the departments.
