Use of Virginia Department of Education Funds

  1. Use of VDOE grant funds may only be accessed if the service is provided by an approved VNOC consultant and the request is arranged with the VNOC coordinator before services are renderd.
  2. Guidelines* for VNOC consultants’ fees are as follows:
    • $150-180.00 for a half day of service for individuals holding a bachelor’s or a master’s degree. ($50-60/hour)
    • $300.00 for a half day of service for individual’s holding a doctorate degree. ($100/hour)
    • The billable amount of service time may include preparation. Preparation time should not exceed the time spent providing the actual service.
    • Consultants may be reimbursed at the current state rates for travel, including mileage*; lodging and food are reimbursable at state rates if overnight is necessary. (Meals are not an expected reimbursable expense for a one-day consultation.)
    *Current state mileage rate for one-day travel @.51/mile; for overnight travel in which lodging is also submitted for reimbursement mileage should be calculated @.246/mile.
  3. Local school divisions/agencies may host regional professional development sessions provided by VNOC consultants. A VNOC Service Request form must be submitted for scheduling a regional event.
NOTE:
These are guidelines. Depending on the nature of the service request a consultant’s fee may be more but within reason (e.g., psychological assessment). The school system/agency and consultant should agree on a fee/hour or /half day before service is provided as well as travel expenses.
