Chron: No Reward For FBISD Superintendent, Why???

No bonus for Fort Bend school distirct superintendent

Fort Bend school district's chief Tim Jenney has been approved for a 3.25 percent raise by the school board.

That's nothing earth-shattering. The rate of increase is the same as what other distirct employees received in July.

With the raise, the superintendent's salary has gone up to $247,800 from the previous $240,000, according to the district.

Jenney didn't get an incentive bonus, which in his original contract was tied to the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills results, said Nancy Porter, a spokeswoman for the district.

Ten schools performed performed so poorly in the TAKS that the students have an option to transfer out, according to Texas Education Agency in December. . .(follow the link for the full story).

Didn't we pay jenney more than the previous supt? Why pay him more when 10 schools are in such trouble?

Obviously he can produce for the special interests and get those record bond monies to them. Of course you give raises for that and not performance these days!

Be weary of anything that makes Magee happy. It ususally means- THE IDEA SUCKS!

Actually Stan voted for more participation in the zoning process, which was apparently opposed by admins. Not a good sign.

Why is the zoning always a problem in Missouri City?

it would be nice if teachers got the bonuses they hand over to the superintendent and other administrators.
