Policy 402.10

Recognition for Service

The board shall consider as appropriate the recognition of officials, employees, both certified and non-certified, and volunteers who provide service to the district. The board authorizes the President of the Board or the Superintendent to determine when and to whom plaques, certificates of achievement or other items of value shall be awarded. The cost of such plaques, certificates of achievement or other items of value shall not exceed seventy-five dollars unless approved by the superintendent.

Additionally, the board may provide one recognition function each year for elected and appointed officials, employees, or volunteers who provide service to the district, provided that the cost per person for such dinner shall not exceed twenty-five dollars.

An annual recognition dinner may be held separately for employees or administration departments, school faculties or for volunteers, or any combination of them if authorized by the board.

Under no circumstances shall the board expend public funds for any expenses incurred by a spouse of an elected or appointed official, employee or volunteer unless the spouse is also an elected or appointed official, employee or volunteer of the district.
