- By May 1, 2012, a comprehensive review of public employees compensation plans must be submitted to the General Assembly. The study shall include at a minimum the following with regards to public schools:
- Analysis of the performance-based compensation system proposed by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
- Evaluation as to whether longevity pay should be continued for new hires.
- Evaluation of current laws and policies related to tenure for public school teachers including an evaluation of the relationship between tenure and student performance.
- Evaluation of salary supplements paid on account of master's degrees, other advanced degrees, and national board certification, including the relationship to student performance if any.
- Analysis of effect of the in-State regional variables on employee comprehension.
Is the General Assembly looking for any way not to remunerate educators in a manner commensurate with their education and duties? This piece of legislation has be potential to be very impactive for the education field. Are there better ways to balance the budget and motivate teachers to perform at their highest level as well?
