The College will reimburse Board of Education Members for out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred during travel related to College or Board business. Travel expenses include transportation, per diem, lodging, registration fees, and parking. Meals, personal expenses and tips related to meals are covered in the per diem allowance. The per diem rates used will be those established by the General Services Administration for overnight travel. Lodging will be reimbursed up to the locality rate established by the Joint Federal Travel Regulations plus applicable taxes. Board of Education members who are unable to secure lodging within the local limit may apply to their approving official for an exception to cover actual expense. Approval of such exceptions should be clearly annotated on the travel reimbursement form. Local travel reimbursements are limited to mileage and direct costs such as registration fees or public transportation. Any travel-related expenses pre-paid by Board of Education members (by cash or credit card) can be claimed as reimbursement at the conclusion of the trip, or included as a part of the travel advance.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
