HEADLINES:
c
1. The chapter is changing Website hosts and framework. We will use Intuit, the top-rated host. The yearly fee is about $100, which is just one-third of what we've been paying. Unlike our current host, Intuit offers unlimited, free technical support. One downside: The new framework does not allow interactive quizzes. You are welcome to watch the new Website being built.

c
2. The evaluation committee was dissolved since the board voted to submit the roster to coaches in alphabetical order. Last year's system of ranking umpires for the UIL's List of 21 will remain in place.
c
3. The ethic presentation will include COPE. Members must read and sign that they will follow all ethics documents: NFHS, TASO, TASO Standards of Conduct. (See on the left under Chapter Business.)
c
4. The chapter will make every effort to cover sub-varsity scrimmages, even if we must send just one umpire.
c
5. Some sub-varsity assignors are compensated. Schools paying a fee are Donna, Edinburg, La Joya, and PSJA. The fiscal committee will attempt to get all schools to pay for those assignments.
c
6. The current OP document has been revised by a unanimous vote. See the revised version and a rationale in the left panel under Chapter Business.
cc
7. Compensation for the assignor was increased unanimously to $1500. Compensation for the treasurer was abolished.
