Board approves $10,000-per-semester attendance incentive pool for staff on teacher contracts
Summary
The board approved an attendance incentive that places $10,000 per semester into a pool to be split among staff on teacher contracts who achieve perfect attendance for the semester.
The board approved Resolution 2025-29 (agenda item 4.7) to create a retention/attendance incentive funded from Title II grant funds and potential Medicaid reimbursement. The district explained the plan as a $10,000 pot per semester; all staff on teacher contracts who have perfect attendance for the semester will divide the pot equally. "So if it's 10 people that had perfect attendance, they will each get a thousand dollars before taxes," a presenter said. The policy applies to employees on teacher contracts (example roles listed included OTs and counselors) but does not guarantee a $10,000 individual payout; it is the shared pot that will be distributed among eligible staff. Board discussion noted respect for union sick and personal days but framed the program as a competitive incentive to reduce absences and substitute costs. The motion was moved and seconded and the transcript records "All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries."
