After significant back and forth with the District, HWFA Contract and Personnel Chairperson Kaitlin Coder successfully secured full meal payments for our teachers chaperoning the upcoming Disney trip. Initially, chaperones were only offered a $125 meal card, far below the federal per diem rates for Orlando. Through persistent advocacy, including gathering extensive documentation of past practices and Board policies, HWFA ensured that each chaperone will now receive a total of $360 for meals—aligned with federal rates and in line with past precedent for overnight trips.
A huge thank you to all who contributed information and documentation to help make this possible!
