Teachers recommend and board adopts $500 pay‑for‑performance plan for 2026–27
Summary
Teacher representatives presented a recommended pay‑for‑performance plan for 2026–27 that the board adopted. The plan offers up to $500 per eligible staff member, with portions tied to school letter grades and individual effectiveness ratings.
Teacher leaders presented and the board approved the 2026–27 pay‑for‑performance (PFP) plan after committee review and a district‑wide teacher survey.
Committee members—identified in the meeting as Christina (sixth‑grade teacher), Jacob Heiskamp (seventh‑grade social studies teacher at Crismon High), and Tanya Corona (second‑grade teacher at Sossaman)—said the committee reviewed the current plan, sought staff input and surveyed certified teachers. They reported that 98.5% of 473 respondents supported continuing the current PFP structure.
Under the recommended 2026–27 plan, eligible staff could receive up to $500: a school‑performance component (about $300 if a school earns an A or B; $150 for a C) and an individual component (up to $200 based on teacher effectiveness ratings; no payout for an "ineffective" rating). The plan also expects teacher participation in half‑day Wednesday professional development.
A board member moved to adopt the PFP recommendation; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
