School board offers sign-on bonus for paraprofessionals
The Hayward Community Schools Board voted Monday to approve a $500 sign-on bonus for new paraprofessional staff after learning that the school district currently has five paraprofessional vacancies. “The toughest challenge is in special education para roles,” said Supt. Mark Berquist. “If we don’t get some people in there, it will create some bigger challenges and in my opinion it’s not best for kids.” Also, any district employee who recommended a person that was subsequently hired as a paraprofessional would receive $500 after the para completed 90 days of employment. In other actions Monday, the board: —Approved a snow-plowing bid from Shane Kreyer LLC for the years 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29. —Passed a resolution authorizing the transfer of funds into an escrow account for the defeasance of general obligation refunding bonds incurred in the referendum renovations to school buildings dated June 16, 2022.

The combined total savings to the taxpayers is approximately $1.83 million from the defeasance in 2025 and 2026. —Accepted the resignations of Jana Hillstrom, 4K paraprofessional; Andrea Place, intermediate school library aide;
