    The section from the July 2010 WIAA Executive Board meeting minutes discussing Member School L&I were corrected to read as follows:

    Member School L & I
    Ed Ploof shared that the increase for 2010-11 L & I coverage will increase from $2.00 to $3.00 per official per contest. The WIAA serves as a flow-through account for L & I coverage for officials servicing the member schools. The money received or paid for L & I does not affect the books or budget of the Association. The schools are billed for L & I coverage in September each year based upon projected program offerings. WIAA then forwards the L & I payment to the state.

    Olson/Kredit moved for the L & I fee charged to schools be increased to $3.00 per official per contest for the 2010-11 school year. MOTION APPROVED.
