State School Superintendent Richard Woods Isn't Sold On Merit-Based Teacher Pay
Primary Content
State School Superintendent Richard Woods says it's not clear whether a merit-based teacher pay system would be financially sustainable.
He also says he wouldn't support such a system without listening to Georgia's teachers.
"We have to have feedback from our educators and workforce. They're the ones that have to live with it," Woods says.
A number of Georgia teachers groups have already come out in opposition to the idea.
Still, Governor Nathan Deal has said he plans to ask lawmakers to work towards creating a merit-based teacher pay system this legislative session.
