Pay for Performance FAQs

• What happens if a teacher earns a bonus but moves
  to another district or state, retires, or cannot
  be found?
• Forward the bonus to the teachers new address
  (if a new address exists). If the teacher cannot
  be found by the time the next years bonuses are
  awarded, the funds should be rolled into the next
  years available bonus funds and redistributed.

24
Pay for Performance FAQs

• If a district wants to amend a previously
  submitted plan, how and when can they do that?
• A new plan may be submitted each year by the
  annual September 1 deadline. In addition, SDE
  will allow districts to revise a submitted plan
  mid-year to change the level of each goal and the
  local share awards for each goal (but not the
  measure used), within the first 30 days of any
  term.

25
Pay for Performance FAQs

• Where do the funds for performance bonuses for
  non-building administrators, for contracts signed
  on or after July 1, 2011? Are these in addition
  to base pay? Is this a bonus that the state is
  not funding?
• These dollars will come from the funds that
  school districts allocate for non-building
  administrator salaries. If no new funds are
  available, they would need to be carved out of
  the money that the state currently provides for
  administrator salaries. Essentially, it is a
  requirement to spend state funds differently.
