Maury County Public Schools has struggled to pay its educators on time during the district’s summer school program, causing some local educators to delay activities such as summer vacations and car repairs.
MCPS leaders confirmed that it was late in distributing payments to teachers during the first of two planned pay periods of its summer program, which is aimed at combatting student learning loss in alignment with the state initiative.
The situation was described as a result of an internal miscommunication that delayed the pay of educators.
“The instruction department did not include our office on the correspondence regarding their deadline for the stipend payments,” said Doug Lukonen, Maury County’s Director of Finance.

Bitta Mostofi, commissioner of the Mayor s Office of Immigrant Affairs, released a statement sharing her views on President Joe Biden s U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. The bill envisions a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented immigrants and emphasizes the integration of immigrants by increasing citizenship, establishing labor protections, and more. We applaud the Biden administration for taking this crucial step and urge Congress to expeditiously pass the U.S. Citizenship Act to bring long overdue relief to our immigrant families and communities, Mostofi said. She also urged New Yorkers to be mindful of immigration related scams, especially when it comes to paperwork. Norwood News
