POLK COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- The Polk County school district is giving away iPods to some parents.

The school district is using the device to reward parents of children with disabilities who fill out a 10-minute online survey. The district wants to know how well it's connecting with the parents and how to get parents involved in their children's education.

The district is spending about $350,000 in federal stimulus money for the iPods.

The district has more than 10,000 students with disabilities.

I-Poll: Should the school district give parents iPods to fill out a survey?

No kidding.  Give me 500,000, and I will have at least 20 people employed in a few weeks.

American taxpayers have to pay for iPods (made in China?) so that parents will answer surveys that are in their children's interest any way? I could see them holding a raffle for 1 or 10 or 50 iPods to encourage responses, but this?  :(

And you wonder why I bash the Stimulus Bill like I do? 

The entire bill was 787 BILLION dollars. 

Most of the bill is filled with crap like this.

Is this the same Polk High that Al Bundy attended?
