    COVID-19 Updates

    The District Travel Freeze will continue for the 21-22 school year. During this freeze a COVID 19 District Travel Freeze Exception Request Form is required for any District Employee Travel/Conference Attendance and will require approval from the Office of the Superintendent. The completed Freeze Form is required in addition to the standard 10.12.1 process forms and approvals. Submit all 10.12.1 forms, the Transmittal Form and the Travel Freeze form to the Procurement Travel Desk. The Travel Desk will forward all travel requests to the Office of the Superintendent for approval. One Freeze form may be used for multiple travelers attending the same conference, however individual 10.12.1 Forms will still be required for each traveler.

    The current freeze on Travel and Conference Attendance does not include virtual conferences, webinars, or online training. The 10.12 .1 Conference Attendance Form is not needed for virtual conferences, webinars, or online training.

    The P-Card may be used to pay for these on-line registration fees.  If the cost is over the P-Card limit, please submit a Credit Card Exception Form to the P-Card Representative for your Local District.

    Note: If the virtual conference attendee self-pays the on-line registration fees, a 10.12.1 Form will be required to process the reimbursement request.
