Determine Compensation

Plan to provide adequate compensation, transportation, and child-care reimbursement rates for time spent planning and implementing family engagement practices. Such support should be based on local needs, priorities, and goals, in partnership with families. 

Example-

Organization will provide members with:

• A $200 stipend per meeting for time and participation

• Members will be given options for payment (e.g. check, direct deposit, gift card)

• Reimbursed cost of mileage, RTD bus pass, parking, child or adult care expenses for each meeting (if needed), and/or per diems

• Professional development

• An evaluation and conversation with each council member at the end of each one year term to gather the council member experience and options for second year term
