Good seats still available. Heh.

The school system will end the year with around $1.4 million left over. They’re only allowed to carry over $1 million to the next fiscal year.

According to the discussion, incoming superintendent Stan Jones is asking for a new school administration instruction software package when he starts work.

Finance Director Lori Cassada says the surplus will be closer to $1.5 million. The bonus options presented are $500, $750 and $1000 for fulltime returning employees, and half those dollar amounts for parttime returning employees.

Juliet Jennings wisely suggests holding back around $175K just in case the school system needs to quickly hire up to three teachers based on needs.

Phillip Campbell says he’s firmly for the $1000 bonus. Steven Gould is leaning to the $750 level. Ed Polhamus reminds everybody that any dollar amount can be considered.

In the coming fiscal year, the school system has already put $630K in a contingency fund.

Substitute teachers are classified as “temporary” employees only if they are in a specific assignment, and not the ones called on a daily basis.

Phillip Campbell makes the motion for the $1000/$500 bonus to be payable on June 30th to returning employees. “Returning employees” is defined as an employee who has returned their signed employment document for the 2015-2016 school year as of June 22. That passes 6-0 with Renee Hughes out today.

We’re done.
