MAP Performance Pay Bonuses
for Teachers and
School-based Administrators
|
On Wednesday,
September 30, 2009, MAP
performance pay bonuses
for the 08-09 school
year will be paid to
over 1900 teachers and
school based
administrators by direct
deposit. A few
teachers may get paper
checks if they are in
the process of changing
banks. The bonus is
$2,330 (minus taxes) for
all who qualify. As a
reminder, this year the
total amount allotted by
the state legislature
for MAP was
approximately $5.3
million. This is $1.7
million less than last
year; therefore, the
number of teachers
receiving the award is
smaller than last year.
The
attached
document
contains a list of
everyone receiving MAP
bonuses. Individuals are
identified by
PIN number.
Attached is a MAP Appeal
Form with specific
directions for staff
members who feel they
did not receive the MAP
bonus due to a mistake.
This
appeal form
must be completed and
e-mailed as specified on
the form by October 6th
at 11:59 p.m.

This Duval County Public Schools Merit Award Plan for
2007-2009 (“Plan”), developed for submittal to the
Florida Commissioner of Education pursuant to FS
1012.225, is a pay for performance system that rewards
teachers and school leaders for improved student
performance. The District will determine an amount equal
to at least 5% of the District’s average teacher salary
to be awarded to all of the top performing personnel,
regardless of years of experience, according to the
terms of the Plan.
Identification of outstanding personnel will be
generated jointly from improved student performance
ratings provided by FCAT and District data (60%) and
their performance rating on the Teacher Assessment
System (40%). Continuation of the implementation of the Plan is
contingent upon funding from the Florida Legislature.
Implementation of any future performance pay programs
will be based on requirements of Florida Statutes. District or Charter School Name:
