Bonner Middle School staff member urges board to revisit 22% withholding on miscellaneous pay
Summary
A Bonner Middle School security specialist asked the board to reevaluate a 22% withholding on miscellaneous pay (overtime/summer pay), saying it reduced her paycheck by about $1,000 and could discourage staff from taking extra shifts.
During the public comment period Jamonica Palmer, identified as a student safety officer (SSO) at Bonner Middle School, asked the board to "reevaluate" a 22% withholding applied to miscellaneous pay such as summer-school and overtime earnings. Palmer said the withholding reduced one check by approximately $1,000 and expressed concern that heavy withholding will discourage staff from taking extra shifts the district needs to fill security roles.
Palmer asked the board to seek a common-ground solution and noted that many support staff rely on miscellaneous pay to cover expenses such as college costs for family members. The transcript records her appeal but does not include a response from board members or staff in this meeting.
The board did not record any follow-up action in the transcript.
