Wife is a teacher in Baton Rouge. She kept asking me if a card came in mail. I finally asked what this card is for and she tells me teachers get paid 10 dollars to take the COVID test every week. Family members of the students get paid 10 dollars a week, and the students get 15 dollars a week for taking the test.

Said the principle tells everyone in the school to tell their families come to the school and take the test for money.

Anyone else heard of this or am I late to the party? Paid to take a test, only reason I can see people getting paid is they want people to test positive to show COVID numbers are up.

I can confirm that this is true. The money comes in slowly but they are even paying private contracted therapists who work in the school to get tested.

It’s a thing.

Education Week

quote:

In the hallways of New Orleans schools, students talk about the headphones, video games, or Christmas presents they’re saving up for with an unusual new source of income: cash incentives for the COVID-19 tests they take. The money they’re budgeting has accrued gradually in their online accounts, $10 a week for every COVID-19 test they take at school. For students who’ve participated since the beginning of the school year, those accounts could soon hold a few hundred dollars. “Once kids realized this incentive existed, we saw a lot of our kids really pushing their parents to sign the consent form,” said Tiffany Delcour, the chief operating officer of New Orleans schools.

Isn’t it amazing how money just appears out of thin air for all this crap?

The vaccines are free, paid to test, child tax credits and pilot programs that are paying people just for the hell of it.

We are lucky inflation isn’t higher.

CRT, Crime and Inflation is doing the Dems in. Their only hope is more electoral cheating. Add in that a lot of people are getting harmed BY the vaccine, with God only knowing future affects...and they are toast.

It would be far more prudent to subsidize test for Antibodies (real immunity), but that won't help their election cheat strategy.

Yes, it’s true. The school where I work is doing it. I signed up to get tested if I need to, but not for the money program.
Figured they would want a lot more personal info.

My daughter gets the same deal for her weakly testing at school. She opted to do it and gets the money.

Every Monday she takes the test and either Monday night or Tuesday morning we get the pcr results email.

These tests are another profit source for the DEM ELITES.....hell, Joe just ordered another 1/2 billion, and the damn virus is on the way out.

Check the stock portfolio of the politicians and you will get your answer!

I do t have kids in elementary/high school anymore but was told that our local catholic hs sent an email about testing and incentives as some sort of program.

Parents actually clicked on and read the links and it talked about taking kids from their home to qiarantinein hotels and other crazy shite.

Parents asked the principal if it was about money — he didnt really answer so the parent said “ok then your no answer IS the answer”

PRINCIPAL HADNT READ THE INFO.

Once it was explained to him by parents he declined participation in the program.
