Use of Credit Cards

The School Board recognizes the value of an efficient method of payment and recordkeeping for certain expenses. 

The Board, therefore, authorizes the use of West Lafayette Community School Corporation credit cards. 

The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines that specify those authorized to use credit cards, the types of expense which can be paid by credit card, and their proper supervision and use. 

A log will be kept which includes the names of the individuals using the cards, their position, and estimated amounts to be charged.  

Credit cards are not to be used to bypass the accounting system of the School Corporation. In addition, credit cards are not to be used for personal expenses not related to Corporation activities. 

The monthly credit card statement, if available, will be placed in the monthly Board packet for review. 

Procedures for payment of expenses charged to credit cards must be according per Indiana Code for the payment of claims.
