Recommendation R1f
The Policy Board should keep current on the amount of money spent on cash paid in lieu of vacation for all staff and the Executive Director as this is an extra expense. The amount paid for such expenses should be identified in their financial reporting as a separate line item. This change should be made by September 30, 2026.
