In recognition of their work during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Craven County Board of Education has approved bonuses for the school system’s full-time and part-time employees.
All full-time employees will receive a $1,500 bonus, while all part-time employees will see an extra $1,000. Long term substitute teachers will also receive the $1,000 bonus.
The money will be distributed on June 30. According to Superintendent Meghan Doyle, the bonuses will come out of the school system’s federal COVID-19 relief funding.
“This recognizes the extra time that every one of our employees have had to give in order to do blended and digital instruction, to deliver meals, to prepare things in a way we never thought we would have to do 18 months ago,” said Doyle. “It just recognizes the hard work, the extra time and the care that our staff have provided to families and students.”
An effort to change elections for the Craven County Board of Education from non-partisan to partisan has drawn mixed reactions from local officials and citizens, ranging from the enthusiastically supportive to the vehemently negative.
The legislation would also move school board elections away from the current county-wide general election to a district-based system.
The push by North Carolina’s Republic-controlled legislature to move school boards to partisan elections in North Carolina has increased significantly since 2013. Currently, 35 of the state’s 115 public school districts run partisan elections, an increase from 23 in 2017.
Onslow County recently went to partisan school board election and a controversial candidate, Eric Whitfield was elected. Whitfield was fired from a school for a racial post and the Onslow County GOP disavowed him. Whitfield ran as a Republican and was elected.
