- Introduced by Rep. Tom McMillin (R) on June 30, 2010, to prohibit the continuation of “step” pay increases to school employees when a contract requiring these has expired without a new contract being signed. Under “step” increases, teachers and other school employees get automatic pay hikes bases solely on the number of years on the job, with no consideration given to whether a teacher’s students have learned at a faster or slower rate than comparable peers.
- Referred to the House Education Committee on June 30, 2010.

1) Re: 2010 House Bill 6302 (Ban teacher “step” pay hikes when contract expires without replacement ) by FreeSpeaker on July 12, 2010This proposal seeks to put more sledgehammer in the hands of school district negotiators. It is the wrong thing to do.
If the legislature wants to level the negotiating field and encourage timely contract setllements, it might better cut off funding to schools that fail to settle a new contract by the time the old one expires. Then everyone has real incentive to reach a timely settle settlement.

No, Merit pay is based on performance. This is based on not getting an automatice raise when you have no contract. Otherwise known as "why should we bargain? we get raises and paid either way so why care?"
I agree with this bill and it shoud happen!.. It probably will be killed by the MEA lobby like most good reforms because both sides of our state representation have little or no courage to do what's right in the face of a pathetic MEA commercial campaign.
