When is a carrot unhealthy?

What do they know and how do they know it?

Hernando: Schools may drop merit pay

This article says it will cost $369,000 plus from the teachers so that the district can get the money and then the money will be given to up to %25 of a to-be-determined group based on a jello-consistency format.

It appears the power people involved look at this "free money" as having a price tag.

My question is, how much is the total gain for the %25 of teachers that get lucky.

It seems like %75 of the teachers paid for a pig in the poke. And helped %25 of their friends.

Update-

"As of Tuesday, when the board met in a workshop, the estimated costs had risen to nearly $400,000, said Heather Martin, executive director of business services. That is money the district would have to spend to devise tests and evaluation systems among other implementation costs."
