| Court Rules Career Ladder Program |
| Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:54:00 -0700 | By now you've probably heard the news that Arizona's Career Ladder program has been ruled unconstitutional. Judge Dean Fink ruled that because the program was not equitably benefiting all of the state's school districts, the legislature must either fund it for all districts or fund it for none. The lawsuit was initiated by Gilbert Public Schools in 2007. This obviously affects CUSD as we are one of the 28 school districts that has a Career Ladder program. With the current budget crisis, legislators are proposing elimination of the program statewide, although some legislators are proposing allowing school boards to fund their own Career Ladder (or other performance pay) program through an increase in property taxes. You can read the azcentral.com news article about this ruling, or read the ruling itself. |
