This report describes how
school districts are planning to use their Proposition 301 monies with regard
to the three purposes outlined in statute: base pay increases, performance
pay, and specified maintenance and operations purposes. Overall, districts are
planning to use 97 percent of these monies to fund teacher compensation. The
majority of districts are distributing the base pay increases in equal dollar
amounts to eligible employees. While some districts have existing plans, most
are developing new plans for distributing the performance-based pay. Finally,
although the maintenance and operations (menu) allocation can be directed to
six program options, 165 districts put some portion of this money into
additional teacher compensation.
In addition to providing a
statewide analysis, this report also contains a page for each district,
detailing its planned uses of Proposition 301 monies.
