Policy Discussion

Started with discussion of being unsure about not knowing what policies were adopted that are in folder. We will discuss each one separately.

Discussed 8400 Transportation first. Discussed making sure transportation policy matches what is in handbook. Discussion of background checks for all volunteers. Committee feels we should beef up the policy and revisit in April or May.
