Message from Dave Reinhart
Team,
Some organizations are paying large sign-on bonuses for new employees. We have decided it is more important to thank all who have worked throughout this challenging year. As a sign of appreciation, our Board of Trustees approved the following pay changes and retention bonuses. These bonuses and changes are being paid from Gov. Little's Recruitment Grant and ESSER (Federal COVID) money. Thank you!

Long term subs from $90 / day to $110 / day

* Any staff member who does not work full-time or started work after the school year began, will have the retention bonus pro-rated.
I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish this year! Even though we always need more help, many of you have exemplified the Kuna spirit by helping each other, going beyond what is expected, and making sure students are in school learning. Thank you!
If you know other people that would share in our mission, please encourage them to apply so that we can continue to grow forward!
Thank you!
Dave
