Sign of the Times

Seems like we should not make our first post of the new year somewhat negative but all those receiving mileage should be aware of the changes. So, here goes...

Effective January 1, 2010, the federal mileage reimbursement rate decreased from 55 cents to 50 cents per mile. It is the College’s practice to adjust its mileage reimbursement rate whenever there is a change in the federal rate. In accordance with General Business Procedure B-2-6, the College reduced its mileage reimbursement rate on January 1, 2010 to 50 cents per mile to coincide with the federal rate change. The travel reimbursement form on the fiscal services website will be adjusted to reflect the new rate. There are no changes in the meal per diem.

A Word About Our Current Processes Here at Community Learning

Just thought now would be a good time to fill you in on what is going on in the office.

Do you feel like we have been on your case to get information back to us? We have been with some of you. We are just putting the Winter schedule to bed which means we have needed you to return your contracts, get bios and material lists to us, etc.

We are done with our planning, finding space for your class (this is getting harder each term), etc. for the moment. Now we are putting on the finishing touches and checking the last details to make sure everything is good to go with the printed and web schedule.

Our turn-around time for winter term is about 7 weeks. For Spring/Summer term it is about 5 weeks and for Fall it is about 10 weeks. We love Fall planning. This means things will get more hectic for us and you in less than a month.

So we want you all to know a few things: that we will be bugging you again soon. We always welcome your new class ideas. And we always appreciate the great job you do in the classroom. Please know also that we are doing our job to make yours easier and more fun.

Thanks,
Paul Stennett
