Summary
The board approved a one‑time state‑funded bonus of approximately $230 for hourly educational support staff and approved a board policy on its second and final reading; both actions passed by voice vote.
The Ottumwa Community School District board unanimously approved two action items during its regular meeting: a one‑time bonus payment for hourly educational support staff and the second and final reading of an updated board policy.
Superintendent Mike said the bonus is funded through state dollars earmarked for hourly educational support staff and the payment will be approximately $230, issued on the March 20 paycheck if approved. After a motion, second and a voice vote the board approved the payment (motion carries).
On a separate item, administration said the proposed board policy contained no changes from the original draft; the board approved the second and final reading by voice vote.
No roll‑call tallies or individual member votes were recorded in the meeting transcript; the minutes state the actions passed after standard motions, seconds and voice votes. Administration said it would implement the bonus on the March payroll and continue to work with staff on policy implementation and communications.
