Firearms: Personnel and Volunteers Authorized to Carry
Trustee Stedillie identifies that Trustee Schmidt provided questions regarding possible reimbursement for firearm training.
NCSD Legal Counsel Zara Mason provides draft information regarding possible state reimbursement to employees for firearm training:
Shares her understanding that there is an account maintained at the state level, which was originally funded with approximately $500,000; however, she cannot get a current balance of the account.
Reimbursement can only be paid out based on the balance of the account. The district does not become liable for reimbursement if the account at the state level is not able to reimburse staff members.
Some districts have had employees submit reimbursement requests to the state directly. If the district serves as a pass-through for reimbursement, that does not make the district liable for reimbursement.
