Gotta be kickbacks to those making hiring decisions.
Re: kickbacks.
In a lot of cases, those on the school boards are spouses of those on the other side of the “negotiating” table. And if they are not spouses, they are other relatives or friends, or former teachers themselves.
What we’ve had in WI for decades, are school boards that are nothing more than partners in crime with the teacher’s union and public teachers.
They’re all on the same side, with the taxpayer having no say at all.
It will take years to root out all the corruption. This double dipping scam is technically legal, but morally bankrupt. Like so many things that liberals do.
