Maury County Public Schools has unanimously approved a one-time bonus for all the school district’s educators and staff.
The bonus combines state funds approved for a 2% raise for teachers and other certified educators, including school administrators, librarians, social workers and counselors, along with local funds needed to expand the bonus offering to all personnel.
The raises will cost the school district a total of more than $1.5 million.
Of the $891,250.19 state funds allotted to implement the raises, just $537,500 of those funds are covered through the state s BEP education funding formula. MCPS must spend $353,750.19 of its own funds to ensure all teachers and staff (certified and classified) see the one-time boost in pay.
Hope for a really hard year
All middle and high school students enrolled at MCPS transitioned to remote learning on Friday as their teachers, principals and staff received the vaccination. The medical center remained open Saturday as the school districts’ elementary school educators and staff received the vaccine.
“It think, both personally and professionally, we can breathe a little bit more,” said Mandy Perrish, an 8th grade teacher at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School, moments after receiving her first dose
“It is at least one more step to getting to normal,” Perrish said. “I’ll still wear a mask and practice social distancing, but it does feel like a burden has been lifted a little bit.”
