Wireless Telephone Expense Reimbursement
Staff members whose primary assignment regularly requires travel or the need
to communicate to other buildings for emergency purposes are eligible for a
wireless telephone or other communication device allowance or reimbursement.

1. Superintendent $ 50.00
2. Assistant Superintendent/Directors $ 35.00
3. Treasurer $ 30.00
3. Supervisors $ 30.00
4. Network Administrator *
*CCESC will purchase a communication device and the necessary service for
the network administrator to perform his/her job.
The ESC does not endorse any specific wireless telephone carrier, equipment
or calling plan. The administration may periodically review market rates to
determine the amount of wireless telephone allowance or reimbursement. The
amount of allowance or reimbursement is established by the administration
and approved by the board.
Eligible staff members obtain their own wireless telephone, carry it with
them while working, use it to conduct necessary business while working and
submit a copy of their wireless telephone bill monthly.
Amount of Allowance or Reimbursement Rate
The amount of wireless telephone allowance paid to participating staff
members was based on market research and history of usage. This amount is
deemed sufficient to pay for monthly access fees, business-related calls and
taxes related to those charges. The ESC shall not reimburse any additional
expenses for wireless telephone services, equipment or telephone calls.
Safety and Security
Loss or theft of equipment must be reported to the vendor service provider
immediately to minimize liability for airtime and toll charges.
Conversations over cell phones are easily monitored, and may be monitored by
outside parties. Confidential and sensitive information discussion over cell
phones shall not be conducted.
Telephone use while operating a vehicle is strongly discouraged.
