1 27 create a statewide team-based variable pay program to
1 28 reward individual attendance centers for improvement
1 29 in student achievement. A pilot program is
1 30 established to give Iowa school districts with one or
1 31 more participating attendance centers the opportunity
1 32 to explore and demonstrate successful methods to
1 33 implement team-based variable pay. The department
1 34 shall develop and administer the pilot program. Each
1 35 school district approved by the department to
1 36 participate in the pilot program shall administer a
1 37 valid and reliable standardized assessment at the
1 38 beginning and end of the school year to demonstrate
1 39 growth in student achievement.
1 40 2. All licensed practitioners employed at a
1 41 participating attendance center that has demonstrated
1 42 improvement in student achievement shall share in a
1 43 cash award. However, the school district is
1 44 encouraged to extend cash awards to other staff
1 45 employed at the attendance center.
1 46 3. The principal, with the participation of a team
1 47 of licensed practitioners appointed by the principal,
1 48 at each participating attendance center within a
1 49 school district shall annually submit district
1 50 attendance center student performance goals to the
2 1 school board for approval. The attendance center
2 2 goals must be aligned with the school improvement
2 3 goals for the district developed in accordance with
2 4 section 256.7, subsection 21. The district shall
2 5 determine the designation of an attendance center for
2 6 purposes of this section. The attendance center
2 7 student performance goals may differ from attendance
2 8 center to attendance center and may contain goals and
2 9 indicators in addition to the comprehensive school
2 10 improvement plan. An attendance center shall
2 11 demonstrate student achievement through the use of
2 12 multiple measures that are valid and reliable.
2 13 4. Each participating district shall create its
2 14 own design for a team-based pay plan linked to the
2 15 district's comprehensive school improvement plan. The
2 16 plan must include attendance center student
2 17 performance goals, student performance levels,
2 18 multiple indicators to determine progress toward
2 19 attendance center goals, and a system for providing
2 20 financial rewards. The team-based pay plan shall be
2 21 approved by the local board.
2 22 5. Each district team-based pay plan shall be
2 23 reviewed by the department. The department shall
2 24 include a review of the locally established goals,
2 25 targeted levels of improvement, assessment strategies,
2 26 and financial reward system.
2 27 6. A district electing to initiate a team-based
2 28 variable pay plan according to this section during the
2 29 school year beginning July 1, 2001, shall notify the
2 30 department of its election in writing no later than
