When I was a high school principal no one was ever awarded money for graduation rates, although CMS used to have a formula that took into account survey results, scores, growth and graduation rates.... This last round was really just a pat on the back for being there. Only Central office would know if some got bonuses for other reasons....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-81615811135111142502013-07-09T10:00:14.139-04:002013-07-09T10:00:14.139-04:00cms = fuzzy mathcms = fuzzy mathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-46406813859463284742013-07-08T21:36:05.998-04:002013-07-08T21:36:05.998-04:00Duh, "NEWSFLASH!"

Each 10K bonus could have been a 3% raise/bonus for 10 lowly teachers.<br />I wonder if raising the bottom (can't score lower than a 50) will push more kids to graduation by over inflating their grades. <br />Does anybody pay attention to CMS college dropout rates for college Freshman? These kids are getting pushed to graduate but are very under-prepared for real world colleges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-79063778069618058222013-07-08T10:33:20.980-04:002013-07-08T10:33:20.980-04:00Thanks, 7:58!
