Race to the _______________

Schools are jumping on the "Race to the Top" bandwagon. Throw out teacher tenure, fire the bums! For our particular district signing on to race to the top would have meant about $70,000 (school of 2100 students) or the same money Pepsi gives us each year to allow their machines in our school. Someone hired the "bums," someone evaluated the "bums" and allowed the "bums" to continue on and finally be granted tenure based upon an evaluation process. Seems we might want to consider who needs to be fired. By the way, what is the average administrator district tenure in Illinois?
