The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education unanimously voted to double the district's retention bonuses for employees during its Feb. 8 meeting.
The original bonuses were $2,500 for eligible full-time staff and $1,250 for eligible part-time staff in two payments -- one of which has already been issued. Under the newly-approved modified bonus plan, full-time employees will receive an additional $2,500 and part-time employees will receive an additional $1,250.
Guest teachers would also get bonuses under the new plan, now eligible for a total bonus of $2,500. Previously, they weren't eligible.
The cost of this modification is estimated to be $49 million added to the initial plan’s cost of $48 million, and CMS says the entire cost of approximately $97 million will be covered using funds from the American Rescue Plan.
