Board hears Prop 301 pay‑for‑performance plan: district staff overwhelmingly approved the 2025–26 payout structure
Summary
Dr. Dela Torre presented the district's Prop 301 Pay‑For‑Performance plan for 2025–26: $3,450 per eligible certified staff divided into site plan completion, performance evaluation, and learning‑walk participation. She reported certified‑staff approval of 99.3%; final board approval is scheduled for Oct. 8.
At a public hearing Sept. 10 the Chandler Unified School District board received details of the 2025–26 Prop 301 pay‑for‑performance (PFP) plan and questions from board members before a vote scheduled Oct. 8.
Dr. Dela Torre reviewed the plan’s three parts: a site learning‑experience plan completion portion, a teacher performance classification portion tied to evaluation scores (using the Marzano instrument) and a "journey to excellence" retention/learning‑walk component. The total payout proposed is $3,450 per eligible certified staff member for the year.
She described the distribution: a majority of the payout is tied to site learning‑experience-plan completion; $350 is allocated for teacher performance classifications (with 100% for "effective/highly effective," reduced shares for developing teachers, and 0% for ineffective), and the remaining portion is tied to learning‑walk participation and aligned instructional initiatives. Dela Torre said the plan is based on 2024–25 evaluation and achievement data and reported that 99.3% of eligible certified staff voted in favor of the plan during the staff referendum.
Board members asked clarifying questions about evaluation frequency, how the Marzano elements factor into scoring, and the timing of payouts; staff answered that first‑semester payments are expected in December and the remainder in June. The district noted there is no professional‑development requirement attached to the stipend.
The board concluded the hearing and will consider formal approval of the plan at its Oct. 8 meeting.
