Funding for such recognition shall be limited to the amount appropriated by the Board for this specific purpose. In addition, the Board may appropriate funds and award grants to persons making suggestions that lead to cost savings for the district. Employee suggestion award grants shall be limited to the amount of money appropriated by the Board for this specific purpose. Individual and team grants or recognition shall be determined by the TQE office.
