DETROIT (AP) Teachers and other Detroit school employees who get a COVID-19 vaccination are eligible for a $500 bonus and two additional sick days.
The sick days are intended to help school district employees who might have side effects after a shot, but they can also be carried over if not used, said Nikolai Vitti, superintendent of Detroit Public Schools Community District.
The vaccine bonus will be paid with COVID-19 money from the federal government. More than 30% of school staff have been vaccinated, The Detroit News reported.
“The incentive is a way to promote the greatest protections to all employees as we work to stop the spread of COVID, while respecting the individual’s choice to not vaccinate,” spokeswoman Chrystal Wilson said.

BERKLEY The Berkley School District has landed on two finalists to become its future superintendent.
In January, Dennis McDavid announced he was stepping down as superintendent after nine years on the job. His last day on the job will be June 30.
McDavid told the Woodward Talk that nine years was a long time to lead a school district, with his understanding that the average tenure of a superintendent was around two and a half years. He felt now was his time to take his leave.
