SB 1263 provides that teacher performance-based compensation increases or teacher base salary increases from the classroom site fund shall not supplant teacher compensation monies from any other sources.

 

History

 

Laws 2000, 5th Special Session, Chapter 1 and Proposition 301 established a classroom site fund for teacher salary increases and maintenance and operation purposes. Monies from the classroom site fund are to be allocated in the following order:  (1) 40 percent for teacher compensation increases based on performance and employment related expenses, (2) 20 percent for teacher base salary increases and employment related expenses, and (3) 40 percent for maintenance and operations purposes. 

 

SB 1263 clarifies that the teacher performance pay compensation increases or base salary increases from monies distributed from the classroom site fund are in addition to any other compensation increases that may be proposed from other sources. The legislation prohibits salary increases from the classroom site fund from being used to supplant teacher compensation monies from other sources.
