BLYTHEVILLE, Ark. (KAIT) - Schools in Arkansas have been rewarding teachers with additional pay with the use of their federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds
Blytheville School District Superintendent Bobby Ashley said the board voted 7-1 in favor of giving 284 employees an additional payment of $30 a day for every day they showed up to work. The money will come from the more than $2 million the district received in ESSER funds.
