Performance
Pay Pilot Program |
Oklahoma
House of Representatives (Media Division)
OKLAHOMA CITY Legislation proposing a performance pay pilot program in six school districts across the state passed committee unanimously with bipartisan support this week.
House Bill 2836, by Rep. Earl Sears (R-Bartlesville), creates a teacher performance-based pay pilot program. Under the legislation, the State Department of Education will create a grant award for a teacher performance pay pilot program and adopt guidelines for districts to follow in developing the program.
Each district will be allowed to craft its own plan based on the input of teachers, parents, administrators and community leaders. No district would be required to participate in the program, but instead will develop a plan and apply to the state Board of Education for grant funds and plan approval.
The legislation requires that each plan include: Measures
of student academic growth and achievement and performance goals and benchmarks
for student improvement Outside of those requirements, the district is free to craft a local plan that fits in with its communitys education goals and needs.
If the bill becomes law, the State Department of Education will evaluate each plan by March 31, 2011, and by April 5, 2011, award up to six grants to school districts, contingent upon availability of funds. Each district receiving a grant will have three years to implement the plan.
The grants, which will be a minimum of $1,000 per teacher, will be awarded based on district enrollment. Two grants will go to districts of less than 1,000 average daily membership and two will go to districts with more than 1,000 and less than 8,000 average daily membership. The remaining two grants will go to districts with more than 8,000 average daily membership.
The legislation calls on the State Department of Education, or a contractor, to conduct an evaluation of the pilot program and submit a preliminary report by December 1, 2013, and a final report by December 1, 2014.
The hope is this legislation would allow school districts to tap into some federal Race to the Top funds if those are secured later this year.
The bill passed the House Appropriations and Budget Education Subcommittee with a vote of 12-0 and will next proceed to the full budget committee for consideration. |
