Stuttgart teachers received a bonus and a raise at the final meeting Tuesday of the Stuttgart School Board of Directors for the 2020-2021 school year.
Stuttgart School District Superintendent Dr. Rick Gales recommended a one-time bonus of $1,000 for full-time faculty and staff and a $500 bonus for part-time and support staff. He said the approximate cost to the district would be $291,550 and the bonuses would be distributed with the regular May payroll.
