THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec.
1250. (1) A Except as
otherwise provided in this section,
a school district, public school academy, or intermediate school
district shall implement and maintain a method of compensation for
its teachers and school administrators that includes job
performance and job accomplishments as a significant factor in
determining compensation and additional compensation. The
assessment of job performance shall incorporate a rigorous,
transparent, and fair evaluation system that evaluates a teacher's
or school administrator's performance at least in part based upon
data on student growth as measured by assessments and other
objective criteria.
(2) If a collective bargaining agreement is in effect for
teachers or school administrators of a school district, public
school
academy, or intermediate school district as of the effective
date
of the amendatory act that added this subsection, January 4,
2010, and if that collective bargaining agreement prevents
compliance with subsection (1), then subsection (1) does not apply
to that school district, public school academy, or intermediate
school district until after the expiration of that collective
bargaining agreement.
(3) For teachers and school administrators who are hired after
the effective date of the amendatory act that added this
subsection, a school district, public school academy, or
intermediate school district shall implement and maintain a method
of compensation that includes job performance and job
accomplishments as the primary factor in determining compensation
and additional compensation. The assessment of job performance
shall incorporate a rigorous, transparent, and fair evaluation
system that evaluates a teacher's or school administrator's
performance primarily based upon data on student growth as measured
by assessments and other objective criteria.
(4) For teachers and school administrators who are hired after
the effective date of the amendatory act that added this
subsection, a school district, public school academy, or
intermediate school district shall not use length of service or
achievement of an advanced degree as a factor in compensation
levels or adjustments in compensation except as follows:
(a) For a teacher with a secondary level teaching certificate
who has a subject area endorsement and who teaches in that subject
area, an advanced degree achieved in that subject area may be
considered as a factor in the teacher's base compensation.
(b) For a teacher with an elementary level teaching
certificate who teaches in an elementary grade, an advanced degree
in elementary education may be considered as a factor in the
teacher's base compensation.
(5) If a collective bargaining agreement is in effect for
teachers or school administrators of a school district, public
school academy, or intermediate school district as of the effective
date of the amendatory act that added this subsection, and if that
collective bargaining agreement prevents compliance with subsection
(3) or (4), then subsection (3) or (4) or both, as applicable, do
not apply to that school district, public school academy, or
intermediate school district until after the expiration of that
collective bargaining agreement.
