I would be tempted to respond that you are only authorized to reimburse the author up to whatever limits your particular school division has established regarding its per diem rate (which is undoubtedly far less than the expenses you have indicated.) This individual is taking advantage and will continue to do so unless he or she is called on this despicable behavior. It is worth noting that in the future, I will certainly indicate this very limitation in any future correspondence with potential visiting authors. Megan S.

I think the author was quite tacky and very inappropriate to do that to a school. I want to know who it was because I don't want a visit. Chris Hales, M. Ed. Media Specialist Andersen Junior High School Chandler, AZ 85234 (480) 883-5301 fax (480) 883-5320 hales.chris@chandler.k12.az.us Please visit our school website http://ww2.chandler.k12.az.us/andersen-jr-high/index.html The books are here, where are you? I am currently reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer >>> Debra Wilhoit <debra.wilhoit@PROVIDENCEDAY.ORG> 11/28/2008 10:00 PM >>> I recently had an experience where a visiting author ate very expensive meals during her visit. One meal costs $50.00 and the other meal costs $60.00. Since I agreed to pay expenses, I was obligated to reimburse the author. On the flip side of this coin, I feel I was "taken for a ride!" I am now considering setting a per diem amount when I have visiting authors / illustrators / storytellers. I would discuss this with the person ahead of time before signing a contract. Am I just being tacky and is the per diem idea way off base? Has anyone else had a problem with expensive meals during author visits? I would appreciate all thoughts and comments.
