Dallas ISD teachers told to give back bonus money overpayments

Fortunately, DISD did not demand return of the Christmas llamas that were also mistakenly handed out for teaching excellence

Around 50 teachers at Dallas' Bayles Elementary are being asked to give back part of the money they received as a cash performance award from their Texas Educators Excellence Grants, because - says the Dallas Independent School District - they were overpaid.

The administrative details are a bit murky as presented in this video report, but apparently the DISD got their hands on the state-funded disbursements before they made it to the actual recipients. Which - given their stellar record at handling money - spelled doom for any sort of straightforward positive outcome.

Llamas. A++ lol-Love you warped sob's

Anybody ever wonder how awful it would be to handle the vending machines for these yoyos? You find a note "Yeah, I lost some money in the Pepsi on the fourth floor. Call me at extension XXXX". You call and they claim it was about $35,000.... or maybe a dime... they have the paperwork around here somewhere.

Llamas. JM - you have a permanent beer invitation.
