6.D.5. Reimbursement of Board Directors for mileage when traveling to Board of Education meetings.
Description:

Recommendation from Joe Alipert, Dieci School Finance, LLC:
If one member is going to be reimbursed, then they would all have to be reimbursed.  Then it could be raised if other non-Board Members should also be reimbursed for mileage if they are required to be at the meetings.
 
Based on the current Bylaws, Board members shouldn’t receive any compensation.  The school would have to amend the bylaws, and develop additional policies, if mileage were to be reimbursed. 
 
I have not seen any charter schools do this before based on the reason previously stated.
