100 teachers receive over $9,000 each in life-changing bonuses

Teachers at a California public school got their ‘life-changing’ bonuses this week after a woman donated $1 million. On Thursday, August 13, one hundred teachers in the Bay Area’s Ross Valley School District, located in the wealthy Northern California county of Marin, were asked to gather for a quick meeting. Once they entered the conference room, a woman stood up and directed the principals in attendance to hand out envelopes to each teacher. Having no clue what was happening, the teachers opened the envelopes and were surprised. Each envelope contained a cheque for $9,161.70. Now, that’s what you call the bonus of a lifetime!$1 million for the teachersMaja Kristin, a local resident, made a $1 million donation to the district’s teachers, according to KRON4. The money was split evenly among every educator in the district. Her donation came as a surprise. There was no press release, no introduction.
