Tuition Reimbursement Guidelines
- The District will make available to classified employees
covered under the DCFCE contract for the 2010-2011 school year,
the sum of $50,000 for the Tuition Reimbursement Program.
- No employee may receive more than $750.00 per year in
reimbursement, or more than $2000 in any 5-year period.
- Tuition reimbursement is available for tuition or
registration expenses and shall be approved semester hours from
a college or university holding regional accreditation; a
nationally recognized and/or accredited trade/vocational
organization; and shall be obtained in the area of work directed
toward a degree, license or advanced certification, or in an
area which will result in increased competence in the area in
which the employee is assigned. Reimbursement will be limited to
registration expenses and will not cover books, on-line
software, software, supplies, travel, lodging or other expenses.
- Employees wishing to take a program of study for which they
seek reimbursement must file a Tuition Reimbursement Request
with the Douglas County Federation of Classified Employees prior
to undertaking the course of study. When the request of eligible
applicants for tuition reimbursement funds exceeds the amount of
funds available, a drawing will be held.
- After an application has been approved, reimbursement will
occur upon presentation of an official receipt from the
university or organization showing payment and an official
transcript showing successful completion of the course work.
Reimbursement will follow the regular accounts payable
check-writing schedule.
Applications for the new school year are available in the Spring,
