At the workshop the school district described a one‑time bonus for employees (consent agenda item 7.25) as a targeted payment timed to arrive before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Miss Perry, the district chief financial officer, presented the item and said the district had coordinated with the Board of Governors (BOG) that oversees the health insurance plan to identify funds. Superintendent and trustees characterized the bonus as a small, appreciative infusion that acknowledges the increased responsibilities educators carry, including mental‑health supports and school safety tasks.

Board members thanked staff and BOG members involved in identifying the funding. The superintendent and trustees said the district faced budgetary pressures — noting changes to the base student allocation and program cost factors — but that this bonus was feasible through the district’s planning and fund balances. No formal roll‑call vote is recorded in the transcript; the item was on the consent agenda and was presented as "recommended by the superintendent."
