Huizenga School Management Professor Quoted in Article on Teacher Pay
The Miami Herald interviewed Bob Preziosi, D.P.A., professor and chair of management at the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, for a story that ran on July 16 titled “Lawmakers, do your homework on teacher pay.”
In the article, Preziosi was questioned about his opinion on the Florida Legislature’s Senate Bill 6. The bill, which passed and then was vetoed by Gov. Charlie Crist in April, called for public-school teachers’ salaries and job security to be tied in part to student test scores. Preziosi concurred that despite the politically inconvenient reasons that Senate Bill 6 was a bad idea, it’s also just bad business.
Preziosi was quoted in the article saying, “One of the principles of good employee/employer relations in the business world is establishing a fair measure of judgment for employee’s performance. And I can tell you whether they intended to or not, the Legislature is using a formula that was meant for a corporate setting, not for a classroom. And as long as they continue to use it, their premise on what standard should be set for teachers will be flawed.”
