The money, doled out in $100 increments for educators based on how much extra work they did, was allocated by the Utah State Legislature this year as a"thank you" for work in challenging circumstances.
The extra money is welcome, said Jay Blain with the Utah Education Association, the state's largest teacher's union. The money was allocated for teachers who substituted for others when there was no substitute available. Utah has struggled to find substitute teachers recently. The state board of education fast tracked the vote on the funding in order to ensure that it was in educators' paychecks before the end of the school year. State school board members also fast tracked a vote to implement an expansion of all-day kindergarten.
"Only 30% of our students have had access to full-day K," Dr. Dickson said."Unlike other states, in fact most other states, 80% of students have had access to full-day K."
A reminder that bonuses are heavily taxes as extra income and is in no way equivalent to a pay raise.
And we all know that teachers will not see a penny of this money!!!
I have to give credit where it’s due.
BenWinslow Hopefully it goes to the teachers first and the leftovers go to the administrators

Republicans block $10 billion COVID-19 aid deal over pandemic border policyRepublicans on Tuesday blocked consideration of spending another $10 billion to fight COVID-19 because Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer refused to allow a vote on reinstating a pandemic emergency order that helped block illegal aliens from entering the U.S. Good. What happened to the 800 billion pandemic aid doled out earlier? A lot of it ended up in the pockets of employers. A lot of it sits in state treasuries. So now we have to pony up more? The Marxist human-trafficking show must go on because the liberal progressive racist supremacist privileges and power depends on it.

Sanders: US Shouldn't Give Bezos a '$10 Billion Bailout' for His 'Space Hobby'Bernie Sanders called for a “strategic pause” in corporate welfare, referring specifically to a bill that would hand a $10 billion “bailout to Jeff Bezos so that his company Blue Origin can launch a rocket ship to the moon.” Understatement!
