The Knox Community School Board discussed the distribution of Teacher Appreciation Grants during their meeting last week.
Guidelines specify that highly effective teachers receive a percentage higher than teachers rated effective.
Knox Superintendent Dr. William Reichhart said the board had also started bonus distributions last year giving $500 to teachers, bus drivers, custodians, and new teachers who were just hired as well as employees at the corporation level who do not receive teacher appreciation grant monies.
The board approved Teacher Appreciation Grants as presented. They also unanimously approved the $500 supplemental pay to teachers and bonuses to other employees who do not receive money from the grant.
