Taken from the Introduction of"One Day My Soul Just Opened Up: 40 Days & 40 Nights 16 Towards Spiritual Strength & Personal Growth" by lyanla 17 18 2015 Update to 2009 Goals and Priorities 19 Bonnie Hammersley distributed a document from the Orange County Schools indicating that 20 effective January 1, 2015 any Orange County Schools' Employee who earns below the Living 21 Wage of$12.76 per hour for any assignment will receive a pay increase to adjust their wages to at 22 least $12.76 per hour for that assignment. 23 24 Before the update began, these issues emerged: 25 • The BOCC should be discussing goals during the budget process.
