INDIANA (WFIE) - Indiana high schools that achieve the biggest graduation rate increases between now and next spring could receive up to $20,000. The money would be split among each principal and some staff members.
The principals and teachers would benefit financially, state superintendent Tony Bennett said.
The Department of Education said it will be the first time the agency has offered "performance awards" to reward school staffs and the State Teachers Association said it has "numerous concerns" about the plan.
Last year, nearly 23,000 students failed to graduate from Indiana's high schools.
