Toledo Public Schools gave a $1 million pat on the back yesterday to its hardworking teachers and staff.
Through the Teacher Incentive Fund, bonus checks were handed out to the staff of 23 schools that achieved at least two of the district's three goals for the 2007-08 school year. It meant incentive payments of $1,000 or $2,000 to 792 teachers, principals, and paraprofessionals.
"It's a great way for schools to celebrate their progress," Superintendent John Foley said.
The goals the district set for last school year include increasing the school's overall performance index score on the state report cards, increasing or maintaining a high student attendance rate, and increasing or maintaining a high math performance.
