Board workshop recommends 60‑day deadline for travel reimbursement claims
Summary
Staff proposed, and trustees indicated support for, a change to the travel reimbursement policy requiring employees to submit claims within 60 days of returning from travel.
District staff recommended revising Policy 717 to set a 60‑day deadline for submitting travel-reimbursement claims. Presenters said the change responds to repeated late claims (some five or six months after travel) and was offered as a time‑limit to keep records current.
Deidra Wittenberger (finance) described the 60‑day window as “a generous amount of time.” Trustees expressed support for the change during the workshop. The item was presented as a policy amendment and staff indicated it would be incorporated into the policy packet for future formal action.
Outcome: Board indicated support for a 60‑day submission requirement for travel reimbursement claims; staff will include the revised language in the next policy draft for formal consideration.
