A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THE LAW REGARDING REDUCTION OR CONTINUATION OF A TEACHER'S BONUS, AS IT APPLIES TO THE CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG COUNTY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. If a local school administrative unit provides a bonus or other salary increment to a teacher because the teacher teaches at a targeted school with high proportions of at-risk students, neither reassignment of that teacher to a school at which there is no such bonus or other salary increment nor discontinuance or reduction of the bonus or other salary increment at that school shall constitute a demotion as that term is defined in G.S. 115C-325(a)(4).
If a local school administrative unit provides a bonus or other salary increment to a teacher because the teacher is certified to teach in an area in which there is a shortage of teachers, neither discontinuance nor reduction of the bonus or other salary increment for teachers certified to teach in that area shall constitute a demotion as that term is defined in G.S. 115C-325(a)(4).
Section 2.  This act applies only to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County School Administrative Unit.
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies beginning with the 1999-2000 school year.
