Development Center (Ph: 915-587-1100) located
at 6500-K Boeing Drive in El Paso, Texas.
The workshop will end July 8, 2008 at ~4:00 PM.

Hotel Reservations must be made
by June 15th.
Phone: 915-833-2522
(All reserved rooms are non-smoking with double beds.)
Teachers who live >70 miles from the workshop and need lodging must contact
the hotel and reserve a room in their name from the “Texas A&M PEER
Workshop” block of rooms by June 15,
2008. Participants must guarantee
their rooms with a personal credit card, and then, when checking in to the
hotel, participants will present a letter from us (which we will mail to
qualified participants) directing the hotel to bill TAMU for the room(s)
instead of your credit card. Having room charges direct billed to TAMU will
circumvent the reimbursement process and prevent participants from having
out-of-pocket expenses for lodging.
Should you not be able to attend this workshop,
it is the participant's responsibility to cancel their hotel reservation by
6:00 PM the day of arrival to prevent a charge to your credit card.
Hotel Location:
Checking into Hotel:
Participants lodging at the La Quinta Inn
will check in under their own name, having
already called and reserved a room in their name
under the Texas A&M PEER Workshop block of
rooms. Upon
check in, participants must present La Quinta with a letter directing them to
bill our account for their room.
This letter will be mailed to participants needing lodging as the workshop date
approaches.

Travel and Meal Reimbursement: Participants living in the same
general locality
(leaving for and returning from the workshop at
the same time of day) should carpool to the workshop if at all
possible. Texas law prevents reimbursement of
individuals who do not carpool when appropriate.
Before leaving home, participants
should record their beginning odometer reading
for their vehicle as participants are required
to keep a beginning and ending odometer reading to and
from the workshop, and to keep all meal receipts
in order to obtain reimbursement.
For participants lodging at the La Quinta
Inn, a Continental Breakfast will be provided
consisting
of bagels, donuts, cereals, milk, juices, coffee
and fruit, etc. PEER
will provide lunch on both days of the workshop.
During the trip to and from the workshop,
teachers driving to the workshop will be reimbursed for automobile travel at
a rate of $0.38 per mile traveled per vehicle. All workshop participants
will be reimbursed up to $28 per day per teacher for meals (up to $6 for
breakfast, $7 for lunch, and $15 for dinner) provided that participants fill
out and sign a travel reimbursement form (which will be provided at the
workshop) including the participant’s name, mailing address, and social
security number, plus a beginning and ending odometer reading for the trip.
Reimbursements for meals and travel, and payment for lodging for any teacher
will not exceed a total of $225.

IS NOT considered part of “meals”, and
cannot be reimbursed.
