We have enclosed four copies of our current contract for
paramedic training which should be entered into prior to the
beginning of Class #19 in which your agency will have one
employee participating. As we did with our first contract,
we have not dated the first page since the University Business
Officc will do so when the contract has been executed by the
Regents. Further, on page four, item #14, we have again not
entered the amount of liability since your coverage may have
changed.
We have made some changes and/or modifications in Exhibit A
since your employee attended Class #15, and we encourage you
to review the requirements entitled "Preentry Requisites".
If you have any questions or details you wish to discuss
our office, please feel free to call. (The office will be
closed for the holidays between December 22nd and January
