The Utah State Board of Education rushed to spend $10 million in bonuses for teachers and other school personnel who have picked up extra work because of staffing issues and COVID-19.
The money, doled out in $100 increments for educators based on how much extra work they did, was allocated by the Utah State Legislature this year as a"thank you" for work in challenging circumstances.
The extra money is welcome, said Jay Blain with the Utah Education Association, the state's largest teacher's union. The money was allocated for teachers who substituted for others when there was no substitute available. Utah has struggled to find substitute teachers recently. The state board of education fast tracked the vote on the funding in order to ensure that it was in educators' paychecks before the end of the school year. State school board members also fast tracked a vote to implement an expansion of all-day kindergarten.
"Only 30% of our students have had access to full-day K," Dr. Dickson said."Unlike other states, in fact most other states, 80% of students have had access to full-day K."
