Dear Members of the Board of Education:
Thank you SOOOOOoooooooooo much for the $126.32 bonus you gave me today! Yes, I thought it would be a little closer to $500.00 since we were told it was going to be $500.00. In reality, I knew taxes and retirement and social security would be taken from it. But - really - I was expecting a little more. When the federal government takes $262.38 and I only get $126.32, something is WAY wrong.
No joke. Of the $500.00 gross, retirement took $30.00, federal took $262.38, social security took $28.25, and state took $53.00.
Yes, I am thankful to have a job. And not just a job, a job I LOVE. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to have done this job for almost thirty years; however, this "bonus" is a joke. Please don't let me see anything in print about the $500 bonus teachers and school employees received. Like most things, it sounds good but the reality is not so pretty. Make sure the public knows that in addition to no real raise, not even a cost of living adjustment for the past four years, some of us got $126.32 of the advertised $500.00 "bonus" today. Gee, thanks.
