9300 - AWARDS, RECOGNITION, AND INCENTIVES FOR STAFF, SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS, ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS

The Board values excellence and wants to recognize, and thereby encourage, staff members, school volunteers, advisory committee members, and community members whose achievements and/or service exemplify the excellence that is our District's standard. It shall be the policy of this Board, therefore, that exemplary achievements and/or service of staff members, school volunteers, advisory committee members, and community members be appropriately recognized with meritorious service awards.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent to develop procedures whereby such recognition will be based on well-defined, consistent criteria, and standards.

Pursuant to State law (F.A.C. 6A-1.0143), auxiliary funds may be budgeted and expended for public relations activities. They may also be used to purchase awards for individuals in recognition of their achievements and/or service. These awards may include, but are not limited to, certificates, plaques, medals, ribbons, and photographs. The cost of a single award presented pursuant to this policy shall not exceed the statutory limit of $2,000.00. Public relations procedures will be developed by the Superintendent.
