Watonga Board approves $1,500 retention stipend for support and certified staff
Summary
The Watonga Board unanimously approved a $1,500 retention stipend for support and certified staff for the coming year at its April 13, 2026 meeting. The motion passed 5‑0 after being moved by Aaron Clewell and seconded by Dwight McGee.
The board voted to approve a $1,500.00 retention stipend for both support and certified staff. The minutes record: "A motion was made by Aaron Clewell, seconded by Dwight McGee to approve a $1500.00 retention stipend for support and certified staff." The motion carried 5‑0.
Board members did not record additional qualifying language in the minutes (for example, whether the stipend is a one‑time payment or distributed across pay periods). The minutes also do not specify the funding source beyond listing the item under the consent/regular agenda; the district's treasurer report was included on the consent agenda but the minutes do not tie the stipend to a specific fund in the text.
