Those payments must be accompanied by an administrator's signature. In the case of a charter school with a much tighter budget, lower amounts should probably apply.<br /> Again, if the charter is supposed to last over time, it might be wise to mention a "thresshold" for reimbursements etc and then establish the number by board policy rather than having it in the charter and having to amend the charter every time it is raised.<br /> In terms of individual expenses, as a comparison, Highland teachers can submit reimbursements for up to $300 (minus any sales tax paid) and can get PO's for up to $750 without going to the SLCSD board.

[Comment 4] Reallocation of grant and specific project related funds over a certain dollar amount [to be established] should be approved by the board.

[Comment 5] Proposed addition.

[Comment 6] Needs revision.

[Comment 7] I'd like to add this section to the next Board meeting agenda.
