The Department of Education has threatened to deny $2.3 million next year to the Christina School District.
It involves a disagreement over plans to improve the District’s struggling schools.
In a letter sent yesterday the Department said the district had declined to take part in the statewide bonus program meant to reward top-performing teachers at high needs schools and failed to come up with an approved alternative.
The district contends says it never committed to participating in the program and that the district has a solution.
School Board president Fred Polaski said that he was concerned about not knowing there was a problem and plans to talk with state officials about the confusion.
