State offers 'exciting' new incentives package to retain public school teachers.
It was a rare moment of solidarity at the Texas Education Agency headquarters on Congress Avenue on April 1, as Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick cleared his throat into a microphone."I am proud to be standing here before you tonight," he said, gesturing to a table beside him where something of an indeterminable shape sat cloaked by a red cloth.
Patrick then stepped away from the podium, and with a dramatic swoop of the red cloth, unveiled a gift basket full-to-bursting with incentives. Across the room could be heard a flurry of snapping cameras and gasps of, one assumes, appreciation. Patrick then removed each incentive from the basket with an explanation of its value.
“A Pluckers coupon basically says, you’re not just a number to us. You’re a whole person. And that person likes chicken.”Patrick then unveiled what he called a"stress mitigation package": one lavender-scented bath bomb and a pack of Pall Malls.
