Travel Request Policy
 
   
  Policy for Authorization to Travel Using SE District Funds  
     
  Prior approval is required for travel supported by the SE District Operations Account. A "Travel Request Form" is posted on the SE District website at http://ext.wsu.edu/sedistrict under the faculty resources section. This form must be completed and emailed to Randy Baldree baldreer@wsu.edu to gain advanced approval of district supported travel. Expenditures of grant funds and contracts by PI's are not from the district operations account and no approval process is needed. Other travel activities not requiring completion of this form are listed in item #4 below.  
     
  SE District faculty members will be allocated individual accounts at the beginning of each fiscal year. When the allocation is used up for the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) no other individual account funds will be available to that faculty member until a new allocation is made at the beginning of the new fiscal year. The allocation will be made annually based on available funds, and faculty members will receive notification of this allocation at the beginning of each fiscal year. Carry forward of unused funds is not automatic from one fiscal year to the next. Individuals must make a request to the district director in June of each year regarding carry forward of unused funds.  
     
  Individual allocations may be used to support personally directed professional development, conferences, and other expenses approved by the District Director. Expenditure of these funds requires completion of the Travel Request form mentioned above and available on the SE District Website under the faculty resources section.  
     
  A separate pool of funds will be set aside in the SE District Operations Account to support the following expenses: (These expenditures will not draw from individual account allocations.) No advanced approval is required for these expenses.  
 
  • All Extension Conference
  • District Meetings
  • Career Guidance Committee Meetings
  • County Director Meetings
  • State County Directors Conference
  • Service on Civil Rights Reviews
  • Service on Civil Rights Reviews
  • Service on Search Committees
  • Faculty & AP Training Session
 
  Contingency funds are set aside for "Special Purpose Meetings and Activities" that may be applied for in unique circumstances. These funds may be requested in addition to individual allocations when warranted by use of the "Travel Request Form."  
     
  There are insufficient resources at the district level to underwrite the cost of program delivery and travel for program teams and general activity associated with state-wide travel. Each County Director should incorporate local travel expenses for faculty and staff into their county budget requests. Generally, faculty and staff must incorporate their travel expenses for program delivery into their grant proposals, program fees, or other resources. Occasionally program directors, departments, or other units will provide support for program related travel and expenses; and personnel should work directly with the appropriate administrator regarding this funding.  
     
  Learning Center personnel in the SE District are allocated annual budgets from a separate funding source and will not receive individual allocations annually from the SE District.
