Conference Request FAQs

Q: How many conferences am I permitted to attend in a school year?

A:  According to the Conference Request Form:

“No more than three (3) days out of the District per person per year will be approved for conferences, unless specifically assigned to attend by the Assistant Superintendent.”

This may not include weekends.  If your conference falls on a Saturday or Sunday, those days likely will not count towards those 3 days.

 

Q: What is the monetary limit I can spend on a single conference?

A: The district will only reimburse you for up to $500 per member per school year.  You may attend several conferences/workshops as long as your total reimbursement does not exceed $500

 

Q: What happens if my total is more than the allotted $500?

A: Unfortunately, you will need to find alternative sources of money to pay for the rest.   The PDC Fund will only cover up to $500 per member per year.

 

Q: How do I get reimbursed for a conference/workshop that I attend?

A: After attending your workshop, fill out FIN-F021 found on the intranet.  Be sure to keep track of your mileage if you are using your own vehicle, and any receipts for lodging, transportation, conference registration, tolls, meals, etc.  You also should  include a copy of the approved Conference Request Form.   This should be submitted to Lindsey Mathias in the Business Office.
