Would it be legal to pay students for performance? I asked our attorney and the answer, below, is murky....

Would it be legal under state law for the district to, at one of our highly impoverished schools, devise a cash reward system to umpire and motivate students?
They do this in inner-city schools in Britain and France, and some schools in Ohio, New York, and California.
Just curious about how Florida law would speak to such a plan. -Also, I just really don't have a lot of confidence that one extra hour and three million dollars at six schools is going to turn the tide. I think to get the parents on board takes direct cash payment.
Thanks for any insight you can give on the legality issue.

Jeff:
Just wanted to follow up in writing -- as I indicated at the Board meeting last week, I can't find any legal authority for/against the proposed action.
Let me know if you need anything else.
