"Me and my colleagues feel disrespected. We feel this is unfair. You know, we trusted our colleagues," former teacher Tandy Braid said.
"They said, 'Oh, we feel so bad for you. If there is anything we can do let us know.' Here's the opportunity for them to do something," Braid said.
"I would tell them, 'Walk a mile in our shoes. Put yourself in our situation and you yourself would be on camera speaking about this issue, because it is totally unfair,'" Braid said.
The teachers helped their school go from a "C" to an "A," but instead of a bonus they got laid off. Fifteen teachers in Osceola County are now fighting to get the bonus they say they earned, but probably won't receive.
"I was a member of that team, therefore I feel entitled to that $1,200 bonus," said former teacher Tandy Braid.
Florida law requires merit award bonus money be given to staff or spent on equipment or temporary personnel. Beyond that, school staff gets to decide how to spend the money. In this case, 75 percent of teachers voted to put more money in their own pockets and none in the pockets of laid off employees.
