Background:
|
|
The Board of Education has previously adopted Board Policy No. 2:125 and No. 5:60 which regulates the reimbursement of all travel, meal and lodging expenses of Board members, administrators, and employees. A copy of Board Policy No 2:125 and 5:60 are attached as Exhibit 1 to this report. |

Summary:
|
The Board regulates the reimbursement of all travel, meal, and lodging expenses in the District by resolution. No later than approval of the annual budget and when necessary, the Superintendent will recommend a maximum allowable reimbursement amount for expenses to be included in the resolution (attached). The Board of Education shall reimburse permitted travel expenses at the rates as set forth on Exhibit 2 to this Resolution unless as otherwise permitted by law. In accordance with the Act, the Board of Education shall only approve reimbursement of expenses if the Board member, administrator, officer or employee submits said expenses on the Board of Education’s Standardized Expense Approval Form, attached as Exhibit 3.
Maximum reimbursable rates for meals have been adjusted after surveying comparable districts and considering significant changes in food costs over the past 12 months. The recommendation is to move to a model that matches District 303, which is near the average ($55.00) of the Districts that were surveyed. The other change from the previous year is the mileage reimbursement rate that was established by the Board of Education on July 13, 2022. |
