Under a new compensation model the Bluffton-Harrison school board approved Monday, June 18, teachers will now essentially have to earn 50 percent of any prospective pay raises by how they teach in the classroom, not just how long they've taught in it.
Specifically, teachers can earn up to eight points, or "units," in certain categories, and each unit will garner them a set amount of cash, based on how much revenue the district has to dedicate to pay raises after paying for other expenses.
