Professional Conferences and Workshops. Each employee may apply for up to two (2) days per year of non-accumulated leave with full pay to attend conferences, meetings and workshops, which are closely related to his/her teaching assignment. The written request should be made at least two (2) weeks in advance to the Superintendent. It should describe the meeting or workshop and describe its benefit or relevance to the employee’s teaching assignment. The Board shall reimburse the employee for all reasonable expenses for travel, lodging, meals, and registration fees of the employee during said leave. Board reimbursement shall be the total of $1000 for the two (2) days allowed per year. The Board will include a travel day for any conferences over 180 miles away from Herrin.

All claims for reimbursement must be supported by paid receipts, canceled checks, or other suitable evidence. If attendance at any meeting is at the request of the Board, Title I administrator, or a school administrator, such attendance shall not be counted against the two (2) day allowance under this section.
