Camping is optional. 41 couples signed up. 7.1.5 Neil Armstrong, Northwood, and North Madison need morning staff. We've contacted principals and admins at each school to gauge interest. Telly will host RECU Staff training on Saturday, September 21 st to review our first month at school and discuss improvements. 7.2 Superintendent Report 7.2.1 We have closed on the property located at 531 E County Line Rd. The maintenance crew has been working hard to clean up the exterior of the property. We will postpone any internal demolition of the building until after we conduct an asbestos check. We will collaborate with the Police and Fire departments to plan training in both J1 and S1. After both departments have completed their training, we will schedule the demolition of both locations. 7.2.2 We've reviewed our policy for RECU workers receiving free care in return for their work. The policy requires employees in good standing to work a minimum of 18 hours per pay period to remain eligible. This ensures fairness, consistent work performance, responsible benefit allocation, and efficient resource management while supporting employees who meet our standards.
