In order to enhance employee morale and recognize long-term employment with the school district, the South Tama County Community School District will recognize employees and demonstrate appreciation for contributions rendered.

The district specifically may do the following:

A.  Provide a system of awards as appreciation for longevity at five-year intervals.  Awards will be given to all employees who complete 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 years of service
      to the South Tama County Community School District.

B.  Sponsor a ceremony and award a token for appreciation upon retirement after at least three (3) year of service.

C.  Express condolence.  The Business Manager will cause to be delivered, when appropriate under this policy, a memorial or remembrance from the Board of Education in the
      amount of approximately twenty-five ($25.00).  The memorial or remembrance will be made to the family of any employee in the event of the death of the employee, their spouse,
      or their minor child.
