Board approves $100 employee Christmas appreciation gift, capped at $120,000
Summary
Trustees approved an administration recommendation to provide a $100 Christmas appreciation gift to all district employees, not to exceed $120,000, to be funded from district reserves; board discussed budgeting the item in future personnel budgets.
The Spartanburg School District 1 Board approved an administration recommendation to provide a $100 Christmas appreciation gift to every district employee, with the total not to exceed $120,000.
Miss Brady told trustees the board "has voted to provide a $100 Christmas appreciation gift to all employees" and that the administration recommends continuing the practice. She said the proposed appreciation gift would not exceed $120,000 in total and would be funded through district reserves depending on year‑end revenue and expenditures.
A motion to approve the recommendation was made and seconded. Trustees discussed incorporating the gift into future personnel budgeting so it becomes an anticipated expenditure rather than ad hoc; one trustee noted the direct benefit to teachers and staff and urged building it into the personnel base during budget development.
The board voted in favor of the motion; no opposed votes were recorded in the transcript. Miss Brady also provided a proposed budget timeline and said staff will schedule budget work sessions in February and March with readings on regular meeting dates in April, May and June.
