LAURINBURG — Scotland County Schools Child Nutrition staff will be seeing a bonus in 2022.
During Monday night’s Board of Education meeting, Richard Jacobs Director of Child Nutrition spoke to the board about the incentive, which will help retain and recruit child nutrition staff.
“We have our ESSER2 School Nutrition PRC174 fund and those are funds are to be used for the retention and recruitment of child nutrition employees,” Jacobs said. “The total funds is $38,965 and what we’re requesting of the board this evening is to be able to use those funds as an end of the year bonus to each child nutrition employee.”
The bonus would be around $500 and given to all employees — full and part-time — in May.
“It currently totals all the employees we have now but we’re always looking for new employees,” Jacobs said. “So we would cover any additional employees with child nutrition funds.
Board Attorney Stephen Rawson added the board should add a date that the employees need to still be employed in order to receive the bonus to maintain the retention. However, Jacobs added it was already in the piece stating that the money would go to any of the employees that were still working with the school system at the end of the year.
Superintendent Takeda LeGrand suggested an addition to the writing that to receive the bonus the employees must be employed by mid-April but the administration will come up with a specific time frame.
“We need to keep doing these things to let them know that we appreciate all that extra effort they’re putting in during this crisis that we’re in,” said Board Chair Rick Singletary. “I just want to say hats off to your department as a whole … you’re second to none.”
The board unanimously approved the bonuses.
