Resolution to Continue to Pay Employees Approved by Aldine ISD Trustees

In an emergency  meeting on Thursday, March 19, the Aldine ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution to continue compensating employees while the district is closed due to the Coronavirus.

AISD Trustees approved a resolution to pay employees.

The resolution effects exempt, non-exempt and long-term substitutes who have not been able to return to their jobs since the district was shut down on March 16.

“We believe this is the right and prudent thing to do to ensure that our employees will continue to be paid during this pandemic,” said Board President Paul Shanklin. “Our employees had no control over the district being shut down and we do not want them to suffer financially while we wait to re-open the district. We as a Board are proud of the action we took today.”

The resolution also stated that  employees should stand ready to work during this period and report to duty when instructed by their supervisor.

During the closure, a non-exempt employee who is required to report to duty by their supervisor will receive premium pay under board policy DEA. Identified exempt employees who have been required to report to duty will receive a stipend in an amount that will be determined by Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney.

The district will have limited essential personnel report to duty to restore district operations and support Aldine ISD students.
