6680 - RECOGNITION
The purpose of this policy is to permit the Board of Education to honor its staff, former Board members, and other non-employee persons with plaques, pins, token retirement gifts and awards, and other amenities.
The Board wishes to also honor staff, students, citizens, and advisory groups for their contributions with appropriate recognitions and authorizes administrators to purchase meals, refreshments, and/or other amenities to further the interests of the District and to be reimbursed for such purchases if they are initially made with the administrators’ personal funds.
The Board does, hereby, affirm that the expenses incurred as listed above do serve a valid and proper
public purpose. However, under no circumstances will public funds be expended for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. The Board believes that the "public purpose" served is the promotion of education, rapport with the business community, community relations, and the encouragement of non-employees to serve as volunteers, as well as furthering other legitimate interests. The funds are available from interest earned from the Board's General Fund investment program.The Board authorizes the establishment of appropriation code(s) for promotion purposes in an amount(s) determined annually by the Board.
The Superintendent is authorized to approve all expenditures from this appropriation account.
