Giving money away has never been this hard!
Mayor Michael Udine of Parkland suggested Wednesday that $25,000 in city money be set side to pay bonuses to “dedicated teachers at Douglas High School for their extra time helping our students.”
Not so fast, he was told.
Before he brought his idea to the city commission, a vigorous debate erupted on a Parkland schools Internet page.
While clearly many residents liked the idea, a number who wrote comments had misgivings.
One parent asked, what about teachers in the rest of Parkland’s schools? Another Northwest Broward resident warned that any bonus would exasperate the gaps between wealthy and poor neighborhood schools.
A skeptic said the Broward Teachers Union would never allow the teachers to be paid bonuses at one school over another.
“City of Parkland gave millions for stadium lights, computers capital improvements the list goes on and on. Why cant we try and help the teachers, if we can?” Udine wrote.
