Bibb Schools employees getting bonus, sale of former school authorized
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Bibb County School District employees are getting a surprise bonus.
The school board authorized an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2019 budget during a budget work session and called board meeting Tuesday to include a one-time, 2 percent bonus to full-time employees.
The purpose of the bonus, according to the district’s Board Brief, includes boosting employee morale, letting employees know they are appreciated, allowing the district to compete in the recruitment process and letting employees know they are a vital part of the reason Dr. Curtis Jones Jr. won both the 2019 State and National Superintendent of the Year awards.
The bonus will be paid out to full-time employees before June 30.
Board authorizes sale of former school building
In a separate action, board members authorized the Superintendent to enter into a contract with William Finney Jr. and Dawn Hodges for the sale of the former Hall Elementary School on Shurling Drive.
The board and superintendent have previously discussed the sale of closed schools as opportunities to create revenue.
