BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) - Full-time employees of an Alabama school system are getting a $1,000 bonus except for its superintendent.
The funds will be issued to employees of Baldwin County Schools on Dec, 18, WKRG-TV reported. The money is coming from local funding, primarily sales tax dollars, a spokesman for the school system said.
Superintendent Eddie Tyler is not included in the distribution, officials said.
In a letter, Tyler said the district has been working on the project for several weeks. The school board approved the recommendation on Tuesday.
“I have said over and over how much I appreciate each and every one of you. What you do for this system, and the more than 30,000 children we care for, is a monumental task each year. This last year has been well beyond anything anyone could ask of you. While I would like to celebrate the closing of 2020, I fully expect the next year is going to be much of the same,” Tyler said. “This is a drop in the bucket for what you are worth to me.”
