Members of the Board of Directors shall serve without pay unless the State of Iowa authorizes and subsidizes pay. Board members shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as members of the Board of Directors.
Prior to reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses, the board member must submit a detailed receipt indicating the date, purpose and nature of the expense for each claim item. A credit card receipt is generally not considered a detailed receipt. Failure to provide a detailed receipt will make the expense non-reimbursable. In exceptional circumstances, the board may allow a claim without proper receipt. Written documentation explaining the exceptional circumstances will be maintained as part of the school district’s record of the claim.
