Eastern Pulaski School Board Authorizes Superintendent to Pay Support Staff during School Closure

The Eastern Pulaski School Board took action Wednesday to allow support staff to get paid while regular classes are canceled.

Board members passed a resolution authorizing the superintendent to adjust pay, benefit, and leave policies to help employees who might experience financial hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to draft minutes from Wednesday’s special session. Another resolution gives school leaders the authority to take any necessary actions “to ensure the safety and well-being” of the school community through the end of the current term.

Most school boards are approving similar measures.
