Friday, August 11, 2023

EMPLOYEE TRAVEL COMPENSATION 

Employees traveling on behalf of the school district and performing approved school district business will be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses as detailed in Policy 707.03. Actual and necessary travel expenses shall include, but not be limited to, transportation and/or mileage costs, lodging expenses, meal expenses and registration costs. 

It is the policy of the board to pay the actual and necessary expenses incurred by employees at educational workshops, conferences, training programs, official functions, hearings, or meetings, whether incurred within or outside the boundaries of the local government, to include: 

1. Registration costs, tuition costs, fees, or charges; 

2. Mileage at the current district reimbursement rate or actual travel expense if travel is authorized by commercial or charter means; and 

3. Meals and lodging as approved in advance by the superintendent. 

Prior to reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses, the employee must submit a detailed receipt indicating the date, purpose and nature of the expense for each claim item. A credit card receipt is generally not considered a detailed receipt. Failure to provide a detailed receipt shall make the expense non-reimbursable.
