Message from the School Board Chair

June 3, 2022

Dear Timberlane Regional School District Community,

The last few years have been incredibly demanding and challenging for all of the staff in the District. When the School Board met a few weeks ago, it decided that paying our staff a very modest bonus was the best way to recognize their extraordinary hard work.

At the meeting last night, I got ahead of myself due to my eagerness to announce this bonus to the staff before the end of the school year. The School Board still needs to work with our attorney and the different bargaining units in the District before implementing the bonus. Needless to say, my announcement last night was a bit premature. The School Board plans to revisit the issue of the staff bonus again in public session at its next meeting on Thursday, June 16th.

I do very much apologize for this mistake and appreciate the community’s support for the our schools and your interest in the work of the School Board.

Sincerely,

Steven Finnegan, School Board Chair
