Shout Outs
To Mary Chintapalli for being Ms. Kimmel's long term sub. It has been wonderful having her in our class. She helped so much throughout the semester and ALWAYS had a sweet, positive attitude. It was a pleasure working with her. She will be missed in the RANCH! ~ Betsy Smith

Payroll for next month
Employee Compensation Package Details for the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year In addition to a 3.00% general pay increase (GPI) approved by the Plano ISD Board of Trustees for all employees, the Board also desires to recognize employee service through a one-time, lump sum payment of $ 500.00. The lump sum payment will be paid, via a regular payroll check, in December 2015. This will be paid to each eligible district employee who: (1) Was employed by Plano ISD as of the last contract/work day of 2014-2015 as a regular employee (not substitute or temporary), (2) Earned a TRS creditable year of service for 2014-2015, (3) Is assigned to a budgeted, allocated position as of the first contract/work day for 2015-2016, and (4) Is still employed in a budgeted allocated position as of November 30, 2015. This one-time, lump sum payment is subject to all legal deductions, is not considered TRS eligible, and is approved only for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. This payment is taxable and may be taxed at a higher rate. The payment will be prorated based upon the full-time equivalent (FTE) percentage of employment status with the district as of November 30, 2015.
