The Minneapolis school board awarded Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson a $12,184 bonus Tuesday as part of her annual job evaluation.
The school board settled on the amount during a closed door meeting Thursday. Johnson was eligible for up to $30,000 in bonus pay on top of her $190,000 salary.
“The board feels that Superintendent Johnson has met expectations and has confidence  that she will continue to work hard to create a strong educational system in Minneapolis,” school board chairwoman Jill Davis said in a prepared statement.
Johnson plans to donate an unspecified amount of the bonus to support AchieveMpls and endow a teaching scholarship in the names of her grandmother and late mother, who were both educators in the Minneapolis schools.
“I’ve learned a lot in my first year,” Johnson said. “It’s been a year of growth.”

Here's a copy of school board chair Jill Davis' prepared statement on Johnson's performance:
