Can end up anywhere in the next range of the next level. For the 15 TIF II Schools, there are teachers to the left and right of yellow column.

This was the open range concept approved “As the start of Negotiations” in the last contract in anticipation of the Student Success Act. $37, 500 Both Grandfathered and Performance Plan teachers will be on the open range schedule. $66, 498 Details will be bargained with the teachers. “Ghost” schedule in background for New Hires. Will be with YOS Cohorts.

Why an Open Range Schedule This is a good transition to the St. Johns’ concept for performance pay…. If all are on the same schedule, but the PP can accelerate at a faster pace….

Proposed St. Johns County Performance Pay Draft Model

Performance Pay Draft Model �Developed through SJCSD RTTT evaluation committee �Focused on a model that is easily understood and can be maintained �Allows for flexibility in design priorities

Performance Pay Draft Model �Does not provide a set grandfather salary schedule �Does not provide for a placement schedule for new employees �Model can be applied to 2013 -2014 teacher pay increases

�PHE must be a larger amount of money than any increase on the grandfather schedule �PE must be 50% - 75% of the PHE

GF = Grandfather/PSC PE = Performance Effective/AC PHE = Highly Performance Effective/AC

Performance Pay Draft Model Ratio: 1 : 1. 5 : 2 GF = x PE = 1. 5 x PHE = 2 x

Performance Pay Draft Model GF + PE + PHE = Total $ (#GF)x + (#PE)(1. 5 x) + (#PHE)(2 x) = Total $

Performance Pay Draft Model Example: 1800 total teachers (1000 GF, 600 PE, 200 PHE) with $1, 000 to spend on raises

Performance Pay Draft Model 1000 x + (600)(1. 5 x) + (200)(2 x) = 1, 000 1000 x + 900 x + 400 x = 1, 000 2300 x = 1, 000 X = $435

Performance Pay Draft Model �GF = $435 �PE = $652 � PHE = $870
