Board approves MOU to reimburse some moving costs for newly hired teachers
Summary
The board approved a memorandum of understanding offering up to $1,500 in moving reimbursement to newly hired teachers who relocate within a specified proximity as part of recruitment efforts for the coming year.
The board considered and approved an MOU aimed at improving teacher recruitment by reimbursing moving expenses for new hires who relocate into a specified proximity to the district. Staff explained the reimbursement mechanism requires receipts and is limited to eligible expenses; "any teacher that we hire that's in a certain proximity from our district would be given, up to $1,500 in reimbursement," a staff member said.
The MOU was negotiated with the union and approved by the bargaining partners; the board moved and voted to adopt the agreement so the district can offer this incentive to new recruits in the coming year.
