VELL SY15 School Recognition Bonus Plan

Instructional and Classified personnel,

By virtue of earning a grade of “A” for the 2014-2015 school year VELL has earned a School Recognition Bonus. According to Florida Statute Section 1008.36 the date by which the school’s staff and the school advisory council must reach an agreement for the distribution of School Recognition funds is February 1, 2016. A committee of teachers and classified personnel was formed to assist inwriting a plan to submit to you for a vote. The following plan was agreed upon after reviewing all information:

  • Bonus money will be awarded to all employees who worked during the 2014-2015 school year.
  • Those employees working less than full-time will receive a pro-rated share.
  • Full-time for instructional is a 7 1/2 work day.
  • Full time for classified will bea 6-8 hour work day.
  • The legislature currently provides approximately $100 perstudent at a qualifying school but this amount is calculated by DOE and is not final until all school grades are finalized.Using that amount, ourschool would receive approximately $83,000. (If the amount is different we will change the bonuses keeping the percentages received the same.)
  • Using this figure the approximateamounts received would be:
  • Instructional and administrative personnel will receive $925.00. Part time instructional personnel will be pro-rated based on the $925.00 full share.
  • Classified employees working full time will receive $462.50. Classified employees working part time will receive a pro-rated share based on the $462.50full share.
  • Balance of funds in the amount of $3,846.66 to be used for nonrecurring expenditures for educational equipment or materials to assist in maintaining and improving student performance. This is approximately 5% of the total.

In order for this plan to be accepted, a 51% majority vote must occur. If this plan is rejected, the committee will reconvene and present another plan. If you should vote to reject this plan and would like to state your reason, please list your reasons on the back of the ballot. This is an anonymous vote.

Thank you,

David Bordenkircher
