The Shawnee Mission school board on Monday unanimously approved a one-time $700 retention bonus to qualifying employees, including classroom teachers and classified staff, like custodians and food service workers. Why it matters: The move is aimed at rewarding employees who worked through the pandemic-impacted 2021-22 school year and have stayed with the district for this new school year, according to board documents. What they said: “It’s just to retain employees through the pandemic as staffing has been very difficult,” Hubbard said. “We are happy to be recommending a $700 retention payment for all employees in the Shawnee Mission School District.”
