Robert Sutton, Teacher of the Year at a Broward high school, returns to RED BROWARD with his thoughts on merit/performance-based pay for teachers. Sutton wants to know why teachers get such a small amount of money while shouldering 100% of the accountability. Most importantly, if Sutton’s numbers are correct, what is the School Board of Broward County doing with the other 85% of money each student gets? As Sutton says, “something is definitely wrong.”

The District also gets EXTRA money for children labeled ESE but then they don’t spend that money on the ESE children.
