VCSC Approves Increase in Per Diem Pay

The Vincennes Community School Board approved an increase in per diem pay for school-authorized travel expenses. The meal-based funding is only for employees on official V-C-S-C business trips.
The increase would be to 16 dollars a day for breakfast, 22 dollars a day for lunch, and 31 dollars a day for dinner. The amount would only apply to overnight stays; that is a mandate from the Indiana State Board of Accounts. Further, by state statute, no alcohol or tobacco can be purchased with that Corporation per diem funding.
The Board approved the increases unanimously.
