New This Year...

Our trainings and meetings will be organized differently this year. NM Kids Network has developed a specific reimbursement policy. Please make yourself aware of the changes.

Lodging: When registering for your trainings, you will notice a lodging section. This year our trainings management office will be making all hotel reservations for you!  The room and tax will be paid to the hotel by the NM Kids Network; therefore, there will be no lodging reimbursement to individuals. It is now required that teaching staff share a room at the training hotel; when registering, please indicate if you have a specific roommate. If you do not have a roommate, one will be assigned to you. W hen assigning roommates, same sex will be a requirement.

Mileage and Meal Reimbursement: Mileage will be reimbursed at $.32 per mile for anyone traveling more than 50 miles one-way. For those traveling more than 50 miles, a meal reimbursement will be given for any meal not provided at your training. Meals will be reimbursed up to the following amounts:

Breakfast - $10, Lunch - $10, Dinner - $20.

Other Information about meal and mileage reimbursement:

• All reimbursement for meals must be accompanied with the receipt from the meal.
• Meals will only be reimbursed for actual amount spent if less than the maximum reimbursable amount.
• If a meal exceeds the reimbursable amount, reimbursement will only be for the stated maximum reimbursement.
• All mileage and meal reimbursement will need to be submitted to our third party program management office, Kesselman-Jones, Inc., within 30 days of the training.
• Reimbursement forms will be given out at your training. All forms turned in after the 30 day payment period will not be reimbursed.
• All mileage and meal reimbursement will need to be submitted within 30 days of the training to our third party training management office, Kesselman-Jones Inc.

Substitute Reimbursement: Substitute reimbursement is an allowable expense that can be billed to your NM PreK PED/ CYFD Program grant. Substitute reimbursement will not be paid through the NM Kids Network.
