Evansville district to pay $1,000 to each school employee

<p>EVANSVILLE, Ind. &mdash; Employees in Indiana’s third-largest school district are getting $1,000 bonuses.</p>
<p>The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. said federal aid and cost savings are making the payments possible for 3,100 people who have been employed since Nov. 13, the Evansville Courier &amp; Press <a href="https://www.courierpress.com/story/news/2021/04/08/evsc-employees-evansville-vanderburgh-school-corp-stipends-paycheck-money/7139858002/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>“Quite simply, without your work and commitment, of all of our employees, we would not have been able to safely reopen our doors and keep them open, especially during a year when so many children in the United States have had no opportunity to experience in-person learning," Superintendent David Smith said.</p>
<p>The money will be paid at the end of May.</p>
<p>“The EVSC Board of School Trustees and I firmly believe this expense is worth every penny,” Smith said.</p>
