Trustees with Prairie South School Division will receive an extra 10 cents per kilometre as part of their remuneration for travelling throughout the division.
During the Oct. 5 board of education meeting, trustees voted unanimously to increase their mileage repayment to 30 cents per kilometre from 20 cents per kilometre as of Oct. 1.
Trustees had originally approved a remuneration rate of 20 cents per kilometre for travel time during their September organizational meeting, a report explained. However, during discussions on Sept. 28 at a committee of the whole meeting, the board asked division administration to prepare a motion to revise the rate to 30 cents per kilometre since trustees didn’t think the amount was enough to cover travel costs.
The next PSSD board meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 2.
