Expense Reporting and Campaign Disclosure

Expense Reporting

Board Policy 7, Section 11 - Board Member Honoraria and Expenses It is the practice of Boards in Alberta to establish honoraria for trustees in recognition of their contributions to the school jurisdictions that they serve. In addition, trustees from time to time incur expenses, in the performance of Board-related duties for which they should be reimbursed, subject to budget limitations. Effective September 1, 2018, both the Non-Accountable Expense Allowance and Position Expense Allowance have been rolled into the individual trustee honoraria.

Individual Trustee remuneration will be reported annually in the Division’s audited financial statements. Such information, along with expense details, will be posted on the Division website, on a quarterly basis, throughout the fiscal year.
