Dan - please see the attached file…
we already sent bullet 1 information regarding purchasing vehicle… attached
is a spreadsheet that should address bullets 2 & 3
now, there isn’t any Personal Identifiable Information in the spreadsheet
but it doesn’t contain behavioral situations that happened within the
schools.
Not sure if you want to pass it by anyone prior to sending… I will leave
that too you
Best Regards,
Ralph
