NC H546

Establishes a pilot program authorizing Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to develop and implement alternative performance-based salary plans for instructional personnel and school administrators.

Performance salary schedules must align annual salary adjustments with documented student growth in learning, evaluated at the local level with input from instructional personnel and school administrators.

Requires evaluation systems to include multiple measures of performance, with a percentage based on student learning growth assessed through state or district-developed assessments, while considering factors such as student attendance, disabilities, and English language proficiency.

Prohibits any reduction in base salary from the date of implementation and requires the school district to submit annual implementation and outcome evaluations to the Department of Public Instruction with public disclosure of proposed pay structure plans.

Authorizes the State Board of Education to grant waivers and provide flexibility in allocating state-funded compensation to enable Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to implement the performance-based compensation system.
