BONUSES TO “A” SCHOOLS OR GRADE INCREASES

Bonus checks in various amounts, at $100 per student, were handed out recently to 1800 Florida schools by Governor Jeb Bush and other top government officials. Rewards totaled more than $157-MM. Bush says the best use for the extra money is to provide bonuses to teachers and staffers… but he says there are all sorts of creative ways that schools celebrate their success.

Among Boca Raton schools receiving these bonuses were:

Boca Raton Community Middle School: $109,264
Boca Raton Elementary School: $36,450
Boca Raton High School: $194,224
Calusa Elementary School: $74,304
Eagles Landing Middle School: $126,497
Omni Middle School: $123,500
Spanish River Community High School: $212,816
West Boca Raton High School: $213,703
