Scholarship

• Linda Herda checked with the District Office and the Classified Council can set up a Classified Scholarship Fund, for payroll deduction by employees

• The scholarship that was voted on by the Classified Council in August to honor David Galang was discussed. Some members were concerned that the Council would name a Scholarship after David this year and take it away next year.
