Superintendent Heim told the district podcast that the Board of Education approved one-time holiday bonuses for district employees: $2,500 for certified teachers and $1,750 for support staff.

Heim said the board approved the payments to be distributed in November, “the Friday before Thanksgiving,” noting the timing is intended to help staff during the holiday shopping season. “Holiday Holiday bonus and will be in November,” he said on the podcast.

Heim thanked the board and praised district staff for their work. The podcast did not include vote tallies, motion language, or which board member moved the item; Heim described the approval as a board action but did not provide further procedural details on-air.
