Board adopts KSBA policy updates and approves $59 daily meal per‑diem
Summary
Bath County trustees approved KSBA annual policy updates, including a prohibition on medical cannabis on school grounds, and approved a new expense reimbursement per diem of $59 per day for meals (no receipts required).
The Bath County Board of Education approved annual KSBA policy updates July 29 that align the district with recent legislation and include a policy prohibiting medical cannabis on school grounds.
Staff also introduced a revised expense‑reimbursement policy (policy 3.125) that establishes a $59 daily per‑diem for meals when district staff or board members travel for work or conferences. Staff said the per‑diem follows the federal standard meal rates and eliminates the need to retain meal receipts; claimants will be reimbursed up to $59 per day for meals, with lodging treated separately.
The board approved the KSBA updates on second reading and approved the first reading of the revised expense‑reimbursement policy by voice votes.
