Casa Grande board approves FY2026 Proposition 301 performance‑pay plan, allocating $1,000 stipends
Summary
The board approved a Proposition 301 plan for FY2026 that uses an expected $4.4 million in voter‑approved funds to support teacher salaries, including a $1,000 performance stipend for eligible classroom teachers; staff voted 67–0 to endorse the plan prior to board approval.
The Casa Grande Union High School District board voted Aug. 11 to approve the district's FY2026 Proposition 301 performance‑pay plan, which the superintendent said relies on an expected $4,400,000 in funds tied to the statewide voter‑approved initiative. Under the plan the district recommended a $1,000 performance stipend this year for eligible classroom teachers; eligibility requires receiving all "satisfactory" evaluation ratings. The superintendent said the staff had been surveyed and supported the plan by a 67–0 margin.
The district clarified that Proposition 301 funds may be spent only on classroom teachers (not support staff or administrators). The board also noted a district practice of offering a comparable $1,000 stipend to roughly 200 support staff and administrators funded from maintenance and operations, although those payments are not funded with Prop 301 dollars. The board approved the plan in open session.
Action recorded: board motion to approve FY2026 Proposition 301 performance‑pay plan passed by voice vote.
Note on transcript: a line in the record referencing an apparent per‑teacher base‑pay number appears to contain a transcription error and was not used in reporting the plan; the district's clear figures for this item in the meeting were the $4.4 million in expected Prop 301 funds and the $1,000 performance stipend.
