  • Deletes requirements that salary adjustments for "highly effective" employees be at least 25% greater than other schedules and that "effective" employees receive 50-75% of the highly effective adjustment
  • Removes the cap limiting cost-of-living adjustments to no more than 50% of the annual adjustment provided to employees rated as effective
  • Adds a new salary supplement category for mentoring teachers hired within their first 3 years, and changes the school grade trigger for mandatory supplements from three consecutive "D" grades to two consecutive "D" grades
