Part 1: How to Use This Planner
☐ The planner runs May to September. Parts 2 to 9 are the May work. Parts 10 to 15 run through the summer. Parts 16 and 17 are September. Parts 18 to 27 are the camp decision and the team's own summer ☐ The system's whole mechanism is one rule, stated here so nothing later contradicts it: every absence leaves the school with a return date attached ☐ Nothing in this planner is a billing instrument. There are no freezes refused as leverage, no renewal offers, no upgrade conversations. The plan is dates, make-ups, and teaching ☐ The owner runs the audit personally. The questions in Part 5 land differently from the instructor than from a desk form
