Section 36.1A of the 2016-2017 Appropriations Act directs local school boards to develop policies to award merit bonuses to LEA personnel who are non-educators for 2016-2017 only. Eligible non-educator personnel include school-based administrators, central office personnel, and noncertified personnel. The bill allocates $17,242,627 for the merit bonuses, but does not establish how the funds are to be allocated among LEAs. It directs local boards to come up with local policies to guide how the merit-based bonuses are to be given out. It prohibits across-the-board awards of the bonuses, and sets out a requirement that local boards report to DPI the details of how the funds are to be distributed by district and school.
Dr. McDaris and Mr. Weaver will give an update on the local allocation plan for the bonuses.
