When school boards enter contracts with teachers unions, they determine the use of nearly half of all the funds available to public education.

This report analyzes the incentives under which public school teachers and leaders work. It concludes that there are few rewards for producing high levels of student achievement and many rewards for work that does not promote student learning.
