I am very grateful for the legislature’s efforts toward education. It is a very difficult year for everyone and this funding will help with the extra stress on our school staffs caused by the pandemic. I am disappointed that the language excludes the teachers in districts who are working just as hard in an online only situation. Changing your entire curriculum and instruction into an online only format is both difficult and time consuming. If Salt Lake District teachers are excluded from this bonus, how is that different from teachers who are teaching distance only classes in other districts? Or teachers who are teaching only face to face? This shows that the legislature values teachers in some districts over teachers in other districts. Excluding any teachers in our state Just because of where they are employed is segregating. All teachers in our state deserve and have earned both the bonus and your respect.
