Tomorrow the NC State Board of Education will vote on the attached request to the General Assembly to authorize and fund a merit pay and revised teacher licensure pilot program.

The program would be implemented in “public-school districts of varying size and geographic diversity” in school year 2024-25 following a year of planning in 23-24.

The pilot would run five years after that initial planning year. Superintendent Truitt says they want 5-15 districts, depends on GA funding allocation.

Take a close look at the "Statement of Need/Policy" section on the first image. This is where the State Board asserts why such a change in how teachers are licensed and paid is needed.

Then check out the third and fourth images. These are the earliest known Human Capital Roundtable talking points which I dug up via public records.

Designed by DC-based marketing firm GMMB, the talking points are designed to "resonate on an emotional and practical level with almost any audience."

Notice any overlap?

If you have feelings on whether the State Board should ask the General Assembly to approve this pilot program, you can contact voting members at the below email addresses.

Again, the vote is scheduled for Thursday, March 2.
