Minnesota School Board Votes to Give Minority Teachers Higher Pay
A Minnesota school board unanimously voted for a resolution that will give minority teachers extra pay to mentor other minority teachers.
The policy will place minority teachers together, creating segregation, according to some critics of the policy.
According to a report from Minnesota’s Alpha News, the Mankato School Board is chaired by a woman named Jodi Sapp, who previously required parents to dox themselves in order to comment at meetings.
The report says that the new policy will be “placing American Indian educators at sites with other American Indian educators and educators of color at sites with other educators of color.” They claim to be aiming to “increase opportunity for collegial support” for minority teachers.
