However it is misleading when the district tells us that the same $10 million is going to save or create 130 jobs. This stimulus money would be far better used to maintain "classroom" teaching positions that are being lost instead of hiring reading coaches, inschool suspension teachers, psychologists, bus aides, and clerks, building audiology clinics, ESE programs, professional development and training (conferences). By my calcuations $10 million divided by an average wage of $35000 could either save or replace 286 full time teacher positions. We need to get back to focusing on the nuts and bolts of education instead of wasting our resources teaching to a test (FCAT).
