Merit pay is based on performance; incentive pay is a bonus for going to an "At Risk" school. MNEA polled its members on this issue and a majority of these members approved of incentive pay (at least the 1/3rd who answered the survey.) Merit pay is a different issue entirely and really could cause dissention if it is based on test scores (as opposed to, say, time put in tutoring students for tests). But MNEA's members really did give negotiators the go ahead on incentive pay. I'm not sure why they dragged their feet on it, but it seems it's over for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
