family per week, plus monthly attendance at socializations and parents meetings. There will be
periodic mandatory training sessions to keep abreast of the Performance Standards and policy

monthly by both supervisors in a meeting to review schedules and calendars. Two copies of
the time -log will be due the first week of each month to the supervisors. Mileage
