1. DUTIES of a SCHOOL CERTIFYING OFFICIAL Or
What Have They Done To Me??!!
2. Picture yourself here…
3. “Don’t let ‘no’ one fool you, being a certifying official involves more than signing a piece of paper. It involves a large amount of responsibility. It involves a large amount of taxpayer dollars paid out on your signature. So, it is important that you do a good job. That is one reason why I am here. If you have any questions, it is important to ask than just guess. E-mail your questions and the reply will be e-mailed back. That way you will have a written reply that you can keep for future references.”
