September 13, 2017 CUSD BOT Meeting Agenda Item #9 EMPLOYEE MILEAGE ALLOWANCE 

At the December 14, 2016 Board meeting, the list of staff designated to receive a monthly mileage allowance was updated. Unfortunately, the job title of Director I, Performing Arts Centers and Facilities was inadvertently omitted.

The Board is being asked to include the job title of Director I, Performing Arts Centers and Director I Facilities on the list of employees to receive a monthly mileage allowance.

The Title Director I Facilities is not on the list still?

CUSD spends over $20,000 per month on mileage per month. It has basically turned into a perk for every administrator whether or not they travel for their work. 

CUSD is at Impasse with the Teachers over a lack of funding for increased compensation. Maybe a District that cannot fund Art, Music or Science and cannot afford to fix or maintain facilities should eliminate unnecessary perks.
