BURTON SCHOOL BOARD TO CONSIDER STAFF INCENTIVE PAY

  

The Burton School Board will consider approving staff incentive pay at its meeting Monday.

According to Superintendent Dr. Edna Kennedy, the district is working closely with its auditors to see if its fund balance will allow a one-time COVID-19 stipend for staff members.

Dr. Kennedy said the stipend would be used to reward staff members for their “extra-valiant efforts in educating our students above and beyond the norm.”  She said the business office is putting together figures for consideration.

Also at Monday’s meeting, the board will canvass results from Tuesday’s election and swear in the newly elected members to the board: incumbent Misty Lucherk, Dean Fuchs, and Donna Boehnemann Putnam.  It will also officially accept the resignation of trustee Tracey Cox, who announced in October that she would be moving out of the district.

Trustees will also consider a payoff of Burton State Bank bus loans, along with a custodial services proposal.  They will also hold a public hearing on the annual school FIRST financial accountability rating for Burton ISD.

The board will also hear reports from the superintendent, elementary and high school principals, and athletic director.  It will then potentially meet in executive session to discuss personnel and district safety and security.

The board will meet Monday evening at 6 p.m.  The meeting can be accessed using the information below.  Anyone looking to submit public comments must do so by emailing ekennedy@stu.burtonisd.net between 5:15 and 5:45 p.m. Monday evening to be included in the meeting.
