The purpose of this policy is to guide District fiscal planning, deliberations and decisions toward maintaining long-term financial stability, providing adequate funding for Capital Improvement Program expenditures, and accelerating payment of unfunded liabilities.

 The District’s Travel and Conference Expense Policy articulates procedures on proper documentation of travel and conference attendance by employees and members of the Board of Directors, ensuring appropriate expenditure of public funds used for this purpose.
