The program would be implemented in “public-school districts of varying size and geographic diversity” in school year 2024-25 following a year of planning in 23-24.
The pilot would run five years after that initial planning year. Superintendent Truitt says they want 5-15 districts, depends on GA funding allocation.

Recently it came to my attention that the Belk Foundation planned to host a panel discussion on the Pathways to Excellence merit pay proposal at UNCC next month starring State Superintendent Catherine Truitt, State Board of Education Chair Eric Davis and others.
From the event description it seemed likely the goal of this discussion was to sweet talk Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools into piloting the merit pay system, possibly as soon as next school year.
Some important points to consider:
On what planet is "other tools not yet developed" an acceptable proposal for how we will measure teacher effectiveness? This cake isn't even half baked and we want the State Board of Education to approve it? #nced #ncpol

The whole viability of this scheme rests on whether or not it fairly and accurately measures teacher effectiveness. If Tomberlin and DPI can't figure that out now they don't deserve a blank check.
Also, the people driving this scheme keep talking about the big salary increases because that distracts from the myriad flaws in the proposal (see above) and from the shady and probably illegal process they followed to get to this point.
