This bill allows school districts to offer merit pay to teachers on top of their regular salary, in addition to what they earn based on their education level, years of experience, and certification demand. School boards will have the authority to decide how much merit pay to award teachers. The bill establishes that teacher salary schedules must continue accounting for education credentials and experience, but now permits performance-based bonuses as an additional compensation option.
