[SchoolFinance] Stamps for Finance Committee Members

[Kate Bolton]

Hi Evan,

Our Board generally signs on paper in person, but during COVID we consulted
with our lawyers and got "permission" to have them review the warrant docs
remotely and indicate their approval with an email. We still occasionally
use this method during the summer months when the Board meets infrequently.

I'm wondering, do you mean that your Finance Committee members are
physically present but using an inked stamp to sign? Is it so much hard
work to use a pen LOL?

:) Kate
