Lots of articles in the news lately about teachers not being paid. Some were actually working in a different school than the payroll indicated, but thousands [almost 4,000!!] more were "botellas" - no show jobs, being paid for being in a political party, friends with the right person, etc. They're cracking down. I wonder what other departments will be targeted next, way beyond time for this to begin.

PROCEDURES BEGIN TO ELIMINATE BOTELLAS
The Ministry of Education of the Dominican Republic (Minerd) began administrative procedures to cancel during this month the 3,929 teachers who despite being on the payroll, supposedly do not perform teaching duties.
This was stated today by a source at El Nacional, who pointed out that as soon as the audit carried out by the Minerd concluded that 3,929 teachers were "bottle", work began on the separation of the payroll from these.
Last Tuesday, when giving details of the audit, Education Minister Andrés Navarro said that the cancellation of these teachers would represent a saving for the State of about RD $ 117 million a year.
ADP would receive list
Also, the Minerd will deliver today's noon to the Dominican Association of Teachers (ADP) listing with the names of the 3,929 teachers that were detected do not work in public schools.
The information was offered by Eduardo Hidalgo, president of the guild that groups the teachers, who said that when they receive the document they would make a cross with the payroll that the ADP has to determine if they certainly do not perform educational tasks.
"We have to validate that information, the ADP agrees with the audit in a general sense, even to previous ministers we requested audits to the payroll of the Ministry of Education, now, we believe that errors have been made in the audit that was done to the Teachers, "he said.
Hidalgo also stated that the 4,169 who were unlocked from the Minerd payroll began charging this Friday.
