Jason Hancock, aide to state schools Supt. Tom Luna, has now begun explaining SB 1110, the teacher pay for performance bill. He said it's based on a Colorado model. Rep. Tom Trail, R-Moscow, said he's examined the Colorado model, and it was based on an assurance of additional funding and on stakeholder buy-in. Hancock said under SB 1110, the performance-pay provisions have the same status as all other statutory funding requirements in the public school budget. "You would actually need some new piece of legislation blocking this in order for it not to happen - otherwise it happens automatically," he said. Hancock said the performance-pay plan has had more stakeholder input than any other piece of the Luna reform plan, because it's based in part on the "Race to the Top" grant application, in which there was collaboration with stakeholder groups.
