Helllo Larry,

In response to your inquiry on how MCB Managers and staff were
notified of  changes n MCB's college policy, I want to let you know
that although it seems that a "memo" was not sent to all staff, the
topic was discussed at the VR managers meetings in October and
November.  Below is an excerpt from the notes of last month's meeting
which Leamon has provided:

College Student Worksheet:  We discussed the College Student Worksheet
as a result of the commission board's action.  Counselors
will be responsible for initiating the action necessary to obtain the
completed form.  The consumer will not have to submit this
form to the college.  Counselors will collect all data necessary from
the college regarding the worksheet.  They may discuss the
information with the consumer after they have received it from the
financial aid office.  Counselors must make sure that the form is
submitted to the financial aid office timely.  No consumer should be
hindered if the form is not received by the counselor in time
for the next semester according to the enrollment requirements.


Let me know if you have further questions.
Best always,

Pat

Dear Mr. Jones:

At the Commission Board Meeting on December 9, I asked for the
memorandum that was sent to management concerning the changes that
were made to the College Policy in the September Meeting. I have not
yet received this memo. Please send it to me as soon as possible.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
