the board
m tabled. Mr. Warner moved consideration for two weeks, and approved that motion.
The board also discussed a revision of the sick leave policy, whereby the previous maximum accrual of 125 days of unused sick leave, which had been changed to 100 days* would be "grandfathered" for those employees; in the system before July 1. Action on this, policy and on VSBA policy revisions was tabled for one month. -J
The board did accept Mr. Warner's suggestion that explanation of policy revision^ be included as attachments to minutes.
The board also considered and passed sc series of resolutions to authorize the general leave policy, payroll processing, accounts' payable, and signatures in the absence of thC Superintendent, and it okayed an out-of-county tuition rate of $5,038 and a rate of $15 per day' of unused sick leave to be paid upon employe# retirement. It had significant difficulty^, however, in passing a resolution that "approve# the establishment of a petty cash fund in thi# amount of $50.”
Mr. Warner was unrelenting in his objection to the $50 fund being administered by the school's finance director, who is also responsible for its oversight. Dr. Gangel noted that this has been the procedure for some time, that the school's accounts are independently^ audited, and that the board authorizes anV check for replenishment of the petty cash fund, but Mr. Warner insisted that the lack of checks and balances in the proposed petty casl^ process was unacceptable. After extensive* discussion the board accepted the petty cash£ fund resolution for a period of two months^ during which time the Finance Committee wij|j review the policy and offer suggestions for** revision.
