Bonuses?

  • New Chicago Public Schools chief Jean-Claude Brizard has yet to release the details of his contract, but he’s saying that even though the contract includes performance-based bonuses he won’t be taking any this year.

    At a taping of WBBM Newsradio’s “At Issue” program to air Sunday, Brizard said his contract has performance bonuses built in, but “the bar is set quite high” and under the district’s current fiscal crisis with a $720 million budget hole, he won’t take a bonus.
If this guy is getting bonuses for running what is arguably one of the most poorly run school systems in the nation, shouldn't we be in line for a little taste of the action following 29 months of crime reduction? And by "taste," we don't mean another ribbon.

Well look at it like this. Osama picks the head of Chicago public schools (the worst in the country) to be the education secretary. Then Quinn picks Chico who also used to head the Cps (the worst in the country) to run them at the state level. So what do you expect?

Wonder what the cost to the CPS was for all the students from all over the city that were brought to Hanson stadium to hear the mayors rah rah talk, especially with all the coppers assigned along with the fire trucks and ambulances too.How many of these students had to be treated because of the 90 degree temps too. All the while this goof is getting a quarter of a million in salary (+bonuses) and the teachers are getting thier pay cut

So we found out today that our kid's school funding was cut by 2/3!! That means they will have to cut so many wonderful programs and possibly make kindergarden half day. This because we live in a neighborhood where people pay their taxes and work for a living! While the so called "lower" income areas keep their funding. Why must we work for others? Why is laziness rewarded? And why do my tax dollars have to be used to take of useless people instead of going to my kids school? The working class must lead a revolt! I'm so tired of living in a socialist society. And this guy can get bonuses?

Speaking of money for doing a bad job....Prosser Principal Kenneth Hunter is said to be moving his shop periods around to avoid problems with students cutting 8th period, flooding the hallways, and (10) shop teachers doing nothing to earn an extra $20K for the last period of the day.

Prosser for years had the following setup for shop periods:

Periods 1&2: Juniors
3: Sophomores
6,7,&8: Seniors

But, most seniors have work study (mostly in jobs with nothing to do with their shops classes) and leave after 7th Period. And, the remaining 5-6 students are left either to sit around and bullshit or walk in the halls with no security in sight to send them back to the rooms.

Since the (10) shop teachers get paid another 20% of their salary for per additional certified teaching class periods over (5) Periods/day, the shop teachers haul in another $20K/yr. and this balloons their salaries to $100K+/year..Check it out.

These shop teachers are/have been making an extra $20K/yr. for sitting around and doing nothing for the extra period as none of the students are in their rooms.

Now, since CPS found out about this waste of money, Principal Hunter 'supposedly' is going with this setup for shop periods:

Periods 1,2,&3: Seniors
6&7: Juniors
8: Sophomores

Make sure you guys look into this and report Prosser if they go back to the old system of wasting money, while our guys and gals have to deal with their shitheads ditching school early

Even more they are building more schools to house the illegals kids,and rahm pushed the dream act in Illinois to give free college to the illegal kids of illegals,while we the taxpayers CITIZENS toil and get 2nd mortgages to help our kids go to college. Mike Savage on the radio and in books states that "Liberalism is a mental disorder" you know he is 110% correct.

I have said for many years that every parent in Chicago that is sending their child to a private school should enroll their children in public school in late August (not to really send them to those hellholes of knowledge) and watch the B of E scramble to find room for all of the kids. They would never have room on the NW and SW sides for all the extras. There would be panic and it would be fun to watch.

He won't be head of the schools long enough to see enough of a positive result to even qualify for a bonus here!

Now hold on there, Junior!

Below is a link to the 100 Highest Public Pensions in Illinois. If you scan the list, I believe you'll see that ALL BUT FOUR come from the teaching profession.

You are correct. Good people should be rewarded for going over and beyond their duties. Cash Bonuses are the best way to reward those who work hard and care. Their supervisors should let them know and all other employees know these people are the cream of the crop and should get whatever they ask for or need to complete their job duties without question.

Doesn't this imply the shop teachers will now have "student free" first period to enjoy their coffee...

How about cutting free breakfast programs. If you can throw your kid a bowl of corn flakes before they go to school, you got a problem. Those programs are just an excuse fir some to get more free babysitting

Prosser seniors only need 24 credits to graduate and the senior shop classes give them 26. So, senior shop is a joke in itself and always has been at Prosser.
