Employee Reimbursement Guidelines
The employee reimbursement program is designed to provide certified and classified staff opportunities to improve and enhance their job related skills. Individuals must apply for consideration PRIOR to initiating the learning opportunity (exceptions see number 9 below). Not all requests are approved for reimbursement. There are limited funds available. The intent of these monies is to provide additional training and professional development with a specific focus - not attendance at a conference. The training may include multiple sessions and may include college credit.
