pay plans that were based on teachers» effectiveness at improving student achievement,
principals» evaluations, or whether teachers took on additional duties, rather than traditional

principal residency programs; differentiated
pay plans; human capital data reports; and targeted recruitment efforts using sophisticated web - based systems and focusing on the challenge of recruiting and retaining diverse teachers.

plans.

plan that was inserted into the state's budget bill last year, says he'd like to see some key changes made to how
principals are now
paid during the upcoming legislative session.

plan's design has produced scenarios that result in some veteran
principals conceivably earning as much as 30 percent less than what they earned on the old
pay schedules — prompting some to consider early retirements.
Those changes include extending the hold harmless provision and making tweaks to other aspects of the
plan that go to the heart of its philosophy on how to
pay principals — but he's not optimistic those changes will come.
Even with the hold harmless provisions, many
principals are reporting that the new
plan equates to a significant
pay cut.
North Carolina's
principals, whose salaries ranked 50th in the nation in 2016, watched this year as lawmakers changed how they are compensated, moving away from a salary schedule based on years of service and earned credentials to a so - called performance - based

Pay» means the payment protection
