Board adopts REED Act MOU to fund contract days and teacher stipends
Summary
The board approved a memorandum of understanding using REED Act funds to give participating teachers contract days and stipends (40 hours at $40/hour plus a $750 stipend were discussed); the measure passed unanimously.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School District board approved a REED Act memorandum of understanding intended to fund participation incentives for teachers. Administration described the arrangement as similar to the prior year: participating teachers previously were provided five contract days and received a $750 stipend.
As described in the meeting, this year's offering would compensate teachers for 40 hours at $40 per hour and a $750 stipend, with the program funded initially from REED Act state appropriations and the remainder from district professional funds. "They were given five contract days to do the work, and then they received a $750 stipend on top of that," the superintendent said while walking through the MOU terms. The board approved the MOU by roll-call vote, 7-0.
Administrators said a small leftover amount from the original grant will carry into next year to cover additional participants; exact counts and the list of participating teachers were not read into the public record.
