The 1003 Waiver has been updated with the language required by the IDOE. They made some changes to the waiver application this year and this was one of those. The board previously approved the 1003 waiver at its December 12, 2023 meeting.

As of January 1, 2024, the federal mileage rate reimbursement increased 1.5 cents to .67 cents a mile. This is the rate TCSC employees can use to reimburse travel related to professional development and meetings not held on the TCSC campus. The recommendation before you is to increase the TCSC mileage reimbursement to the 2024 federal rate of .67 cents per mile.
Indiana Code 35-44-1-1-4 requires the Board of School Trustees annually sign, approve, and submit the Uniform Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement.

We have reduced the number of advisory committees and board member assignments to each committee.
