103 Gadsden County Teachers Receive Performance
Pay for
Reading Learning Gains
Per Race to the Top MOU guidelines for Gadsden County, one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) has been allocated for annual performance pay to certificated staff of schools with 65% of their students making learning gains in reading. If 65% of a school meets performance pay criteria, all certificated staff are eligible for a portion of the $100,000 annual performance pay allocated district-wide (not to exceed $2,000 annually).
The monetary incentive was a one time bonus that was written into the RTTT grant for all eligible candidates that achieved 65% or higher learning gains in reading during the 2010-2011 school year.
We have three schools in Gadsden County that qualified for annual performance pay to all certificated staff because 65% of their students made learning gains in reading: Gadsden Elementary Magnet School (79% reading learning gains, 10 staff members), Stewart Street Elementary School (74% reading learning gains, 48 staff members) and Gretna Elementary School (66% reading learning gains, 28 staff members).
Per Race to the Top MOU guidelines, any teacher employed at a school that does not qualify for school-wide performance pay may qualify for individual performance pay, if 65% of his/her students make gains in reading.
The following schools had individual teachers who met this category: Chattahoochee Elementary School(3), George W. Munroe Elementary School (1), Greensboro Elementary School (2), Havana Elementary School (2), Havana Middle School (1), Carter Parramore (1), James A. Shanks Middle School (5), East Gadsden High School (1) and West Gadsden High School (1).
