Update on merit pay for North Carolina teachers:
Today the PEPSC Commission met and, by a vote of 9-7, approved a "Blueprint for Action" which is the first step toward moving all North Carolina teachers from an experience-based pay scale to merit pay. #nced #ncpol

You can see the vote breakdown below.
Like pretty much everything else in this torturous saga, the vote was a complete 💩 show.
Initially it was tied 7-7. Then two members (Sam Houston and Michael Maher) who had left the virtual meeting were called back in to vote, but a third (Anthony Graham) was not.

Both individuals who were asked to return to the meeting voted yes.
Ann Bullock asked the State Board attorney Allison Schaefer if it was proper to call people to return to the meeting to vote. Schaefer said that since Houston was having technical difficulties that it was acceptable.
She did not explain why @MichaelMaherPhD's vote counted or comment on why nobody called @DrAntGraham to vote, even though Dr. Graham was present earlier in the meeting as well.
