| | July 30-August 1, 2012 | TBA | N/A | N/A | N/A | | Save the Date | Please Note: grantees interested in attending a national training that have paid for an airline ticket in full prior to June 30 (even if the training will be held reasonably after July 1), may request a reimbursement payment for the airline ticket within the same year the expense was occurred. If a registration fee to attend a national training requires payment before June 30 (even if the training will be held after July 1), grantees may request a reimbursement payment for the registration fee within the same year the expense was occurred, especially if there is an 'early-bird' reduced rate prior to June 30. There must be PROPER documentation to validate that these payments were made accordingly. HOWEVER, grantees may only request a reimbursement payment for any other expense for a national training (i.e. mileage, hotel lodging, parking, food, taxi, etc) AFTER the training has already taken place and will therefore be paid from the same year’s budget in which the actual training occurred in. If you have questions, please contact your DESE grant supervisor.
