Mileage Rate
Effective July 1, 2015 the mileage reimbursement rate increased to $0.41 per mile. Miles driven through June 30, 2015 will be reimbursed at $0.39 per mile. Do not submit expense claims with dates crossing the new fiscal year. Use a separate expense claim if you still have reimbursable expenses, which occurred prior to July 1. August 31 is the last date the Business Office will accept and process any claims for expenses occurring on or before June 30, 2015.
Cell Phone Reimbursement
Although agency business-related cell phone minutes will continue to be reimbursed at $0.10 per minute, the Agency implemented a monthly cap on the number of minutes we will reimburse. As of July 1, 2015 the Agency will reimburse up to 500 minutes ($50) per month. Submit your cell phone minutes monthly with the month identified in the description - for example, ‘Cell Phone Minutes – July’. Employees are still required to retain their cell phone bills along with other receipts in accordance with the Staff Handbook.
If you have questions about either of these reimbursements, contact Mary Heaberlin, Accounting Technician, at mheaberlin@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14818 or Brian Whalen, Business Manager, at bwhalen@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14005.
The agenda for the July 14, 2015 Board of Directors meeting is now available.
Heartland AEA will be moving all the content in the Heartland AEA Moodle Server over to the AEA PD Online PD Server this month (July). If you have a class in the Heartland Moodle Server and do not have an account in the AEA PD Online server, please create one as soon as possible so you can be assigned to your class content when courses are moved over.
You will not be able to update or edit any course content in the Heartland Moodle Server after July 15. You will still be able to view your content in that server after that date until the Heartland Moodle Server is taken down.
After July 15, any content that has a teacher assigned to it and has been created within the last 2 years will be moved over to the AEA PD Online Server. This will be done by categories and the work should be completed by July 22. At that time you will be able to login to your class by following these steps:
- Go to http://moodlesw.aeapdonline.org/
- Log in (If you do not remember your log in information, contact Lynn McCartney for assistance. If you haven’t created an account, click on Log In in the upper right, click Login With Your Google Account and activate by following the instructions.)
- Scroll to Individual AEAs and Partners
- Click on Heartland AEA
- Find the category for your course
- Find your course and double click on it
Beginning NOW, if you want a new course created for your use, follow these steps:
- Go to http://moodlesw.aeapdonline.org/
- Log in using your Google Account (If you do not remember your log in information, contact Lynn McCartney for assistance. If you haven’t created an account, click on Log In in the upper right, click Login With Your Google Account and activate by following the instructions.)
- FOR THIS SUMMER: Email Lynn McCartney or Denise Krefting with the following information: Course Name, Category you want the course stored in and enrollment key (should you want one)
