Some stuff you can't make up.
From 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.
Taxpayers...can you spell "boondoggle?"
UPDATE 5:00pm: Bay News 9 reports that federal funds, but not federal stimulus funds, were to pay for the free iPod program, which has been dropped. Once Drudge linked to the same story, and after Rush Limbaugh discussed it on his show, it was only a matter of time before the idiots dropped it.
