11. COLLECTIONS You are responsible Keep good records Start with the Bookkeeper at the individual school If they have sent it on, confirm the date it was sent forward If they have no record of it, you may need to contact the AD Allow 2 to 3 weeks from the date they gave you If you feel you should have received it based on the information you gained above, contact kim.simmonds@browardschools.com. She has offered to helpkim.simmonds@browardschools.com Stay tighter on your JV multi-school events. I would call the following week to make sure paper work is received. For Private Schools, usually a call to the Bookkeeper will rectify the situation If you go past April of 2013 to work on the collections, you are on your own Remember: Kindness goes farther than belligerence
