EAG: INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis school board members awarded Superintendent Lewis Ferebee a massive $26,999 bonus on Thursday, the same day the public learned student test scores fell by 3.7 percent last year.
School board members noted that Ferebee’s performance bonus was only 77.1 percent of a possible $35,000 boost that’s based on improving learning in the school district, Chalkbeat.org reports.
“The 10 goals include redesigning and expanding district magnet schools based on demand and student results, creating autonomous schools and improving student graduation rates and IREAD scores, according to the news site.
In February, the IPS board increased Ferebee’s total compensation to more than $287,000 a year, including a base pay of $209,880.
IPS students fell behind at a faster pace than students statewide in recent standardized math and reading tests released by state officials on Thursday. On average, 3-8th grade students lost 2.1 percentage points in those subjects, while IPS student scores decreased by 3.7 percent. read more
No one, no matter how many degrees, in the education racket is worth half of what he’s given. No one. Cut his base pay in half and there would still be two dozen over qualified applicants who want his job.
Blacks simply cannot get ahead in this oppressive country…
Black privilege.
Appears that Indianapolis has decided to pay some slave reparations!
Is this the same Indianapolis Public School system that puts school age girls on birth control without parental consent at the school?
Would it be racist to ask the percentage of blacks in the IPS system? I mean if we are talking numbers in declining student performance wouldn’t a little perspective be helpful? Oh wait…
#BlackLiesMatter!
Nobody really gives a fuck about the peons’ and peasants’ bastard spawn.
Particularly those socialist administrators who sent their rug-rats to private schools.

They should have deducted 27K from his salary…then watch the scores improve. You DO NOT reward failure
I thought they were doing away with bonuses this year and going with the “Jelly of the Month” memberships.
I hear a lot of (often justifiable) complaining about teachers’ salaries, but very little about administrators’ salaries and perks. These are the folks pulling down the really serious bucks.
