401.19 - Meeting Expenses

 

The Independence Board of Education will cover the cost of meeting expenses for its employees, teachers, administrators, members of the Board, and some others not in the direct employ of the Independence School District, when conducting official school business, under the conditions outlined below. The Board of Education expects that district personnel exercise good judgment in making arrangements that strike a balance between the expenses incurred and the business conducted. The policy applies to expenses charged to all funds administered by the Board of Education.

While it is understood that absolute adherence to specifics may not be possible in each case, significant departures from the policy must be approved by the Board of Education before reimbursement is made. In all cases, reimbursement for expenses is limited to actual reasonable and necessary business-related expenses.
