Expense Authorization/Reimbursement
The same general policy shall apply to all personnel and district officials in regard to reimbursement of expenses.  This policy shall be as follows:
1.  Personnel and officials who incur expenses in carrying out their authorized duties shall be reimbursed by the district upon submission of a properly completed and approved document and such supporting documentation as required by the Director of Finance.
2.  Such expenses shall be approved and incurred in line with budgetary allocations for the specific type of expenses.
3. School personnel and officials shall use a school vehicle whenever possible.  If no school vehicle is available and official travel by personally owned vehicle has been authorized, mileage payment shall be made at the rate currently approved by the Board.  This rate of reimbursement shall be 80% (eighty percent) of the current State of Colorado government rate.  If school personnel and officials choose to use their own vehicle, the school will pay for gas only using a school-provided gas/credit card.
4.  The district shall reimburse personnel up to $35 per day for meals ($10 for breakfast, $10 for lunch, and $15 for dinner) and actual expenses for hotel/motel accommodations.  A travel advance may be provided if approved by the employee's supervisor and submitted to the business office 7 business days in advance.
