Background:
At its August 26, 2021 meeting, the Board referred Resolution 2122R-013 by Director Carr to the Committee on Accountability, Finance, and Personnel.

The Administration is not in support of the resolution unless it is expanded to cover all employees in the district that physically came into work when the district was shut down due to the pandemic. Many employees in the district came into work during this time period and did not receive hazard pay.
 
Fiscal Impact Statement:
This item does not authorize expenditures. If the resolution were expanded to cover all employees in the district that physically came into work between March 18, 2020 and May 22, 2020, it would cost approximately $40.3 million.  
Implementation and Assessment Plan:
The Administration will proceed as directed by the Board.  
Recommendation
Your Committee recommends approval of Resolution 2122R-013 to provide hazard pay to secretaries who came in contact with the public, to be paid retroactively in the same manner as other school-bsaed employees, not to exceed the $3 million estimate and to direct the Administration to do the necessary research, including surveying principals and reviewing requests for remote work, to be used to determine eligibility for hazard pay.
