Code Number: 431.05
It is the policy of the Board to encourage and support professional development and encourage appropriate professional activity of District staff. To that end, the Board will provide reasonable and necessary travel and other business expense reimbursements as further provided by District policies and procedures and in compliance with legal standards.
Local Transportation Expenses
The District shall establish and periodically review the mileage rate it will use to reimburse employees for approved transportation costs. District employees who use their personal vehicles to conduct District business may claim reimbursement if submitted in accordance with District procedures. Normal transportation between work and home is not reimbursable travel.
Out-of-District Transportation and Other Expenses
Out-of- District travel must be preapproved by the appropriate supervisor.
The District shall reimburse employees for approved conferences, travel, meals, lodging, and other reasonable and necessary expenses in accordance with existing District policy and procedures, including AR 431.05.
Exceptions
The Superintendent and/or his/her designee may approve requests that fall outside the parameters of the District’s expense reimbursement policy where such expenses are deemed to be in the best interest of the District and the circumstances warrant such approval. Contractual or negotiated expense reimbursement terms will control when in conflict with this policy.
