| IN | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | A new section (20-28-9-1) requires increases or increments in a local salary scale based on the following factors: 1) Combination of the following factors can account for no more than 33% of the calculation used to determine a teacher's increase or increment (number of years of experience and the attainment of either additional content area degrees or additional content area degrees and credit hours); 2) Results of evaluation; 3) assignment of instructional leadership roles, including the responsibility of conducting evaluations; 4) academic needs of students in the school corporation. Teachers rated ineffective or improvement necessary may not receive any raise or increment for the following year if the teacher's contract is continued. Teachers may appeal.

| TX | Signed into law 07/2011 | P-12 | Authorizes a district board of trustees to implement a furlough program and reduce the number of days of service otherwise required by law by not more than 6 days of service during a school year if the commissioner certifies that the district will be provided with less state and local funding for that year than was provided to the district for the 2010-2011 school year. Authorizes the board of trustees to reduce the salary of a furloughed employee in proportion to the number of days by which service is reduced.

| FL | Signed into law 03/2011 | P-12 | Repeals existing language related to local salary schedules. Directs local boards to establish a grandfathered salary schedule for all employees hired before July 1, 2014. By July 2014, requires local boards to adopt a performance salary schedule that provides annual salary adjustments for instructional personnel and administrators based on performance. Employees must be compensated based on performance after they have received a performance evaluation as revised through this legislation. Establishes salary adjustments for highly effective or effective performance. Provides an employee receiving a rating other than highly effective or effective will not receive an annual salary adjustment for that year. Also directs local boards to provides for salary supplements for assignment to a Title I or low-performing school, certification and teaching in a critical teacher shortage area, or assignment of additional academic responsibilities. Provides that if budget constraints in any given year limit a local board's ability to fully fund all adopted salary schedules, the performance salary schedule may not be reduced on the basis of total cost or the value of individual awards in a manner that is proportionally greater than reductions to any other salary schedules adopted by the district. Existing legislation defines "critical teacher shortage area" as math, science and career education; this legislation directs the state board to identify critical teacher shortage areas.
Requires instructional personnel on annual contract as of July 2014 to be placed on the performance salary schedule. Permits instructional personnel on continuing contract or professional service contract to opt into the performance salary schedule if the employee relinquishes such contract and agrees to be employed on an annual contract. Directs districts, in developing the grandfathered salary schedule for instructional staff, to base a portion of each employee's compensation on performance, and to provide differentiated pay for both instructional personnel and school administrators based on district-determined factors, including additional responsibilities, school demographics, critical shortage areas and level of job performance difficulties.
Prohibits local boards from using advanced degrees in setting a salary schedule for instructional staff or administrators, unless the advanced degree is held in the individual's area of certification and is only a salary supplement. Requires that a superintendent's primary consideration in recommending an individual for a promotion be the individual's demonstrated effectiveness.
Exempts a Race to the Top district from specified salary schedule and performance pay provisions for the 2011-12 school year and annually thereafter based on annual approval by the state board, provided specified criteria are met. http://laws.flrules.org/files/Ch_2011-001.pdf
