Set up Policies

In-Service Day

You know the pain. All day today was full of meetings. Mostly good stuff today. New policies and procedures. The little time I had in my class, I updated a few things on our policy manual. If you don’t have policies set in place, make it a priority. Use ours as a starter. This document is an adaptation of what my mentor, Bill Kopf, gave to me over 20 years ago.
