What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, last reviewed September 16, 2019, establishes reimbursement rules for Reed Union staff attending pre-approved professional development activities. Employees can be reimbursed for: overnight conference meals up to $100/day (no alcohol), mileage at IRS rates, hotel costs (excluding personal charges like phone calls or movies), airfare when necessary, and miscellaneous expenses like tolls and parking. All expenses require prior approval from the principal or Superintendent, must include receipts, and documentation must be submitted within 60 days of the event. The policy encourages cost-saving measures like room-sharing and carpooling due to limited district funds. This regulation supports staff development while maintaining fiscal responsibility and clear expense guidelines for employee travel.
What this means for your family
This policy doesn't directly affect students or parents. It governs how the district reimburses employees for professional development travel expenses, which indirectly benefits families by ensuring teachers receive training while district funds are spent responsibly. The cost-saving requirements help preserve budget dollars that could otherwise support classroom programs and student services.
