Teacher’s union works to keep math, science grant from AP students
5 May 2008I’m sure chronically “underfunded” schools in Washington didn’t need the money, anyway.
NMSI declined to give any specifics, but state Rep. Bill Fromhold, who resigned his legislative post as of next year so he could help administer Washington’s grant, said it had to do with how teachers would be paid for the time they spent in training, and how they would receive incentives for how well students scored on AP exams.
NMSI wanted to pay teachers directly, he said, while Washington’s collective bargaining laws require that teacher pay be negotiated between teachers unions and school districts.
The AP students of Washington state thank you, I’m sure.
