Disclosure of Conflict of Interest Notice
Bob Erbetta disclosed a potential Conflict of Interest regarding working with his daughter's nephew with some facilities work at the school.

The document has been reviewed by this committee and will be put before the Board of Trustees.
Katie Sullivan made a motion to present this Conflict of Interest disclosure document from Robert Erbetta to the Board of Trustees having been reviewed by this committee.
James Rogers seconded the motion.
The committee VOTED to approve the motion.

Review MCCPS Personnel Handbook
Peter met with James after our last Personnel meeting and has been working on the edits. The links included in the handbook still need to be carefully looked at and updated.
