Summary

During public comment, Mr. Gorman thanked staff for successful professional development and said administrative bonuses totaling about $27,000 are coming from the general fund—not the bond—and that Superintendent Leo offered to review budget details with him on behalf of the union.

During the public-comment period of the Aug. 26 meeting, Mr. Gorman spoke about district professional development and clarified the source of recent administrative bonuses.

Gorman thanked staff for productive training on the district’s staff kickoff and said spirits were high among employees. He then addressed a prior statement about bonus funding, saying the bonuses, which he described as totaling roughly $27,000, are being paid from the district general fund rather than from bond proceeds. "Superintendent Leo has reached out to me to clarify that that is not true — that that money is coming from the general fund as it is legally supposed to," Gorman said, and added that Leo offered to meet with him and review the budget on behalf of the union.

The comment clarified the funding source for the bonuses and indicated ongoing dialogue between district officials and union representatives; no vote or formal board action followed the comment. The speaker thanked the district for the professional-development programming and wished staff a good start to the school year.
