Teacher compensation program reviewed The State Board of Education has drastically altered its teacher com pensation policy without waiting for the completion of the Career Ladder Pilot experiment and without proper public input, both from citizens and other educational groups, the North Carolina Assoication of Educators said. Karen Garr, president-elect of NCAE, said the new policy contains a statement which says in part the "performance pay which imple ments the Career Development Pro gram" will be part of the Board's compensation policy. The policy also does not specify consideration of ad vanced degrees in setting teacher compensation. "In effect, the State Board of Edu cation has given the green light to the Controller's Office to develop a sal ary schedule based on the adopted premises even thought the Career Ladder Pilot experiment still has a year to go," Garr said. She said NCAE asked to be allowed to address the Board's Personnel Committee on the proposed change but that the request was denied. A similar request from NCAE to the full Board was denied, she added. Garr said the change in policy is a radical departure from current com pensation policy and is ill advised be cause the general public and educa tional practitioners were never allowed input into the decision. The NCAE leader said the Associa tion has agreed to work within the Career Ladder Pilot experiment and is doing so at the present time. But she said adoption of the new State Board policy ignores the experimen tal nature of the pilots and assumes total success. Adoption of the policy, she said, is a classic case of a few DONNA ELLIOTT INTERIORS Commercial and Residential M-F 10-5; SAT. 9-1 1545 N. Rood S?r?*?
