The Cut Bank School Board voted unanimously to provide a one-time $500 COVID holiday bonus to all school district employees. The action came at a special meeting early Monday morning, Dec. 14.
The board earlier voted at their Dec. 8 meeting to use Coronavirus Relief Fund to issue âhazard payâ to all district employees. An â11th hourâ decision by Gov. Steve Bullock and Montana Budget Director Tom Livers on Dec. 10 negated that action, explained Cut Bank Schools Superintendent Wade Johnson.
Cut Bank Schools will use its School Flexibility Fund to pay for the well-deserved bonus, said Johnson. The bonus will be paid out during the districtâs December payroll.
LAKELAND The only neighbors Billy Friend has dwelling behind his house either have four legs or wings. And that’s how Friend would prefer it to stay.
He and other residents of the Medulla Road area of southwest Lakeland live on lots averaging about five acres. They now see their bucolic lifestyle threatened by the proposed English Creek subdivision, which would place 85 houses on about 45 acres.
The proposed development, with a planned entrance near Medulla Road and Hamilton Road, would worsen existing problems of flooding and inadequate roads, Friend and other residents say. At its meeting Tuesday, the Lakeland Planning and Zoning Board will consider a major modification of the Morgan Creek Preserve planned unit development to approve the project.
