Bonus Checks before Spring Break - terrible decision

The following email is being sent to Interim Superintendent Gregory, Dr. Harry Miley, and the Board.

Dear Supt. Gregory,

The Board made a terrible decision last night regarding its demand that the District issue certain bonus checks before Spring Break. Did they not listen to Dr. Miley when he said his department could not produce those checks before Spring Break? 

What was the urgency felt by four of the board members to get some meager funds into the hands of certain hands before Spring Break? No employee will change his/her plans for the Break, based on receiving or not receiving the check one week earlier. And no employee is going to make a career decision based on getting $1,000 extra in April.

I loved Dr. Miley's comment that all the members of his payroll team who were watching last night were probably throwing up.

I hope in the future you'll run interference for your staff and state plainly to the Board that its urgency is unfounded and that it creates an unnecessary and impossible workload on staff to meet its decision, if the team can even do so.

The 3-4 decision on the secondary motion was poorly made. It should have passed.

I hope Dr. Miley doesn't give his two weeks' notice and date it two weeks ago.

Gus Philpott
