Allows local education agencies to implement merit-based pay for educators starting in 2025-2026.
Tennessee HB0759 amends the state's education code to permit local education agencies (LEAs) to establish a merit-based pay structure for educators. This structure would provide additional compensation to high-performing educators and incentivize others to meet or exceed expectations. The merit-based pay can be in the form of a one-time bonus or a permanent salary increase. However, LEAs may choose not to award merit pay in any school year if they do not receive increased or additional state funds compared to the previous year.
