Seriously? His contract provides for bonuses?
- New Chicago Public Schools chief Jean-Claude Brizard has yet to release the details of his contract, but he’s saying that even though the contract includes performance-based bonuses he won’t be taking any this year.
At a taping of WBBM Newsradio’s “At Issue” program to air Sunday, Brizard said his contract has performance bonuses built in, but “the bar is set quite high” and under the district’s current fiscal crisis with a $720 million budget hole, he won’t take a bonus.
If this guy is getting bonuses for running what is arguably one of the most poorly run school systems in the nation, shouldn't we be in line for a little taste of the action following 29 months of crime reduction? And by "taste," we don't mean another ribbon.
