Board raises mileage reimbursement to $0.725 per mile to match IRS guidance
Summary
Trustees approved an updated mileage reimbursement rate of $0.725 per mile to align with the IRS rate; board members emphasized the need to adopt the new rate promptly to avoid personal losses on travel reimbursements.
The Stanfield SD 61 Board approved an increase to the district's mileage reimbursement rate, adopting a rate of $0.725 per mile to align with the IRS guidance cited during the meeting.
Chair (Speaker 2) presented the item as an action. Board member (Speaker 3) said the change needed to be adopted promptly to avoid personal financial loss when staff or trustees drive on district business. "Because if you don't, you catch a loss," Speaker 3 said during discussion. Speaker 3 moved to adopt the updated rate; Speaker 5 seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the action was captured as a passed motion in the meeting minutes. The rate replaces the prior district rate referenced in discussion and follows the current IRS mileage figure noted in the agenda item.
