District/AU Travel Reimbursement Procedure

For the 2026 Transition Leadership Institute, lodging reimbursement will be available for a single night stay within the date range of October 26, 2026, to October 27, 2025. Lodging will only be provided for teams/members traveling over 100 miles in one direction.

All reimbursements will be made to the school district or administrative unit ONLY.

No personal reimbursements will be permitted.

ONLY commercial lodging options will be honored (this includes hotels). The CDE cannot and will not reimburse for any non-commercial properties such as Airbnb or VRBO-type accommodations.


For a district or AU to submit a request for reimbursement the following must be submitted to Kacy Little Owl before November 13, 2026:
  • A district/AU-generated invoice reflecting the actual costs of the lodging within the date range of October 26, 2025, to October 27, 2026, for the personnel registered for the TLI representing the district/AU.
  • A copy of the original lodging receipt showing the total amount paid by the district/AU.
  • A clear one-to-one correspondence between the district invoice, the team representing the district/AU, and the lodging receipt must be evident.
  • Once appropriately submitted to Kacy Little Owl by November 13, 2026, reimbursement will be processed directly to the district/administrative unit.
  • To receive the lodging reimbursement, the district/AU must also include a MapQuest/Google map showing the distance from the district/AU office to the TLI exceeds 100 miles one way.

*Mileage reimbursement will be the sole responsibility of the district/AU sending and supporting their registered team.
*Meals (per diem) reimbursement will also be the sole responsibility of the district/AU for the team representing the district AU

Once the invoice, copy of hotel receipt, and map are compiled, email these documents to  Kacy Little Owl for processing and approval.
