Bonus Checks Arrive For Dallas School Employees

It seems that the checks are here! More than 1,200 Dallas public school employees received bonuses in their monthly paychecks today, the first ones handed out through a new effort to reward workers for boosting student achievement.

The bonuses ranged from several hundred dollars for non-classroom workers to $10,000 for teachers whose students posted notable academic gains last school year.

Workers at 59 pilot schools were eligible for the federally-funded awards. Over all, an estimated 1,200 workers received a collective $3.2 million for their efforts last school year

What a perfect time for the extra cash - wouldn't you say!
