The Board of Directors of North-Linn Community School District believes that it should give special recognition to employees who retire or have given special, meritorious and/or faithful service to the district.

The administration is directed to advise the Board of Directors on ways to implement the Board of Directors' desire to recognize special, meritorious and/or faithful service. The administration is directed to implement the programs established and to periodically seek counsel from the Board of Directors regarding the aspects of the recognition program.

 The administration should determine if members of the Board of Directors can be available to present the recognition tokens to employees slated for special recognition. Where possible, the Board of Directors desires the recognition be presented to the employees at a public event (i.e., general staff meeting, a department meeting, or before or during a meeting of the Board of Directors).  Funding for this program will be the Board of Director’s general fund account. 

Appropriate recognition programs are to be designed for the following instances:

    1.    Time of initial employment

    2.      After each five year period of employment

    3.      For meritorious service to the district

    4.      At time of retirement

    5.      To recognize special accomplishments
