    Travel Freeze Update

    The District Travel Freeze will continue for the 24-25 school year. A Freeze exception is required for any District Employee Travel/Conference Attendance and will require approval from the Office of the Deputy Superintendent. The Travel Freeze Exception will now be requested through the Concur system, the justification must be documented using the drop-down menu provided in Concur, and approval, if granted, will be documented via the Concur approval workflow. Uploading of the Freeze Form will no longer be required. Please note, if
    "Other" is chosen, a brief justification MUST be provided in the "Purpose" field on the Concur online Request Header.

    The current freeze on Travel/Conference Attendance does not include virtual conferences, webinars, or online training. Travel/Conference Attendance request entry in Concur is not needed for virtual conferences, webinars, or online training. 

    The P-Card may be used to pay for these online registration fees.  If the cost is over the P-Card limit, please submit a Credit Card Exception Form to the P-Card Representative for your Region.

    Note: If the virtual conference attendee self-pays the on-line registration fees, the request for reimbursement will need to be submitted through Concur.

     

    Please note the P-Card Unit and Travel Desk are no longer combined.
