Panel to request employee bonuses

The Licensed Personnel Policies Committee of the Pulaski County Special School District will ask the district’s School Board on Tuesday to approve the payment of onetime bonuses to certified staff members.

The proposal calls for a $1,250 payment to full-time certified employees and $625 to part-time certified employees, which duplicates the bonuses paid to employees in the 2017-18 school year.

Most of the members of the personnel policies committee are teachers, but the committee also includes administrative staff members. The recent vote by the committee was divided, with four teacher members voting in support of the bonus and the two administrator members voting no.

The School Board meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the administration building at 925 E. Dixon Road in Little Rock.
