Sheffield City Schools Giving Away Money?

 

From a Sheffield resident:

SCS recently announced that 'employees returning in January' would receive a $150(P/T)-$300(F/T) payment for 'services yet to be received' for all of their 'hard work this year'. Employees not planning on returning in January will receive nothing, regardless of their hard work so far this school year. 

This follows an earlier decision (slap in the face?) by the SCS's school board to withdraw a previously-approved raise for the system's School Nurses.

Are things so bad in Sheffield's schools that the school board thinks(?) it has to BRIBE employees to stay?

'Merry Christmas you filthy animals!'
