Each SLO Campus Contact will earn a $500 stipend at the end of the school year for their successful service in this role. The characteristics and responsibilities of the SLO Campus Contact include:
* Attending required face-to-face summer training
* Attending online meetings throughout the year
* Serving in a campus leadership role
* Being comfortable with technology
* Facilitating and monitoring the completion of the SLO process
