In accordance with M.C.L.A. 380.621a, the Board of Education designates the Superintendent or the Director of Special Education as its official designee for pre and post approval of overnight travel for support staff. It is the policy of the Board that all travel by a support staff member that involves at least one (1) overnight stay must have approval both before and after the travel occurs.

The support employee will submit for approval, a pre-travel estimate of costs and a post-travel reimbursement form that details and verifies actual expenses.

The Board may provide for the payment of actual and necessary expenses, including traveling expenses, of any support staff member of the District incurred in the course of the performing services for the District, whether within or outside the District, under the direction of the Board and in accordance with the Superintendent's administrative guidelines.

Any reimbursement for other job-related expenses shall be approved by the administration.
