RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Hold System

You basically have the idea: -Students are matched to Host Families (We have Students, but we do not have Host Families) -It does not matter how many holds a Coordinator has. They can have zero. It is to there discretion. -Coordinators pick students to place. It is fairly involved. But I have the rest worked out. I just don't feel right about this hold table.
