This podcast contains comments from Bryan ISD assistant superintendent Kevin Beesaw during the BISD school board's meeting on March 29, 2021.

Around 30 Bryan ISD maintenance employees will be getting two and a half times their regular hourly pay.

That's after a unanimous BISD school board approved assistant superintendent Kevin Beesaw's recommendation for the bonus pay for their work during February's winter storm.

Beesaw tells WTAW News this applies to maintenance employees who worked at district buildings during the week of the winter storm.

Other hourly employees who were asked to leave their home and come into work during the emergency closure will receive one and a half times their regular rate.

The remaining hourly employees will be paid their regular rate for that period.
