e. School Recognition Funds
• Recognition award funds for being an “A” school for the 2014-2015 school year will be in effect; awaiting release of data/school grade for the 2014-2015 year: EESAC came to a consensus that FSRP funds will be distributed amongst all staff members as an incentive when funds are available.
The EESAC hereby votes to use the award funds received under the School Recognition Award to pay bonuses to faculty and staff of the school. In order for an employee to be eligible to receive the bonus, the employee must (1) be employed at the school during the year for which the school received Recognition Award and (2) be employed by the school at the time the funds are dispersed by the school to the employees. If an employee resigns or is terminated prior to the school dispersing the funds, the employee forfeits the monetary bonus, The EESAC reserves the right to pro-rate the funds in the event that the employee is not employed for the entire school year for which the funds were received. Award amounts will be separated into 5 different categories: a) Teachers and full-time faculty; b) Part-time instructional employees (includes teacher assistants); c) Office and support staff; d) Cafeteria staff (if employed by school) Security staff; e) Administrators. The amounts to be paid as bonuses in each of these categories shall be based on the same proportions that have been used in the past when the school has received the Award.
