Definition of Teacher
District Administration defined “teacher” based on the Attorney General’s opinion published on June 21, 2001: “The teacher compensation increases through CSF are not limited to traditional classroom teachers. Certificated teachers, certified teachers, and others employed to provide instruction to students on matters related to the school’s educational mission are eligible for the increases in compensation.”

Guiding Principles, cont.
All certificated employees at a site should be involved in selecting goals for the site.

What is performance-based pay?
Performance-based pay is a type of contingency pay arrangement in which an employee can earn additional compensation for attainment of a specified goal or goals. The goals are clearly stated and developed with input by those affected. The goals can be individual, group, school site, or district level.
Attorney General’s Opinion, 2/15/01: “…school district governing boards were given the sole authority to determine the factors upon which Classroom Site Fund teacher performance increases could be based.”

Disadvantages Of MUSD’s Policy

Concerns
Changes in composition of MUSD’s Governing Board Legislative interferencePossible decrease in money available for Classroom Site Fund as a result of the economy and “overpayment” of CSF amounts to school districts in the first two yearsESEA and AZ LEARNS methods of evaluating schools are not currently congruent, thus sending mixed messages to stakeholders.
