Welcome to the YES! Weekly Pop Quiz, where we ask politicians and public servants about their jobs. This week we address questions to members of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School Board. The rules are simple: no research, no callbacks.
QUESTIONS1. What was the total dollar amount appropriated by the school board during
its Nov. 25 meeting for the Equity Bonus program for teacher assistants, non-licensed
teachers, media clerical assistants and home-school coordinators?
2. What’s the formula for determining those bonuses? What is the maximum
any one individual can receive?
3.
What is the dollar amount the school board agreed to pay the NC Departmentof Transportation for road improvements to Kimmel Farm Elementary
and Flat Rock Middle School?
