The
Little Rock School District Board on Thursday voted to pay all district employees who can show proof of vaccination a $300 one-time bonus. It also approved the LRSD’s COVID-19 sick leave policy, which is similar to last year’s, rather than a more punitive plan that had been floated before the third surge of the coronavirus in Arkansas.
But how else the LRSD will keep children and educators safe during the pandemic remains a work in progress.
Deputy Superintendent Keith McGee told the board that it’s waiting on the state Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide guidance before the district can finalize its plan.
