Big week coming up for Q Comp
The legislative auditor is expected to release a report next week on Q Comp — the performance pay for teachers program — Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s signature educational reform piece.
House and Senate education committees are expected to hold hearings on Tuesday (Feb. 3) to review the findings of the auditor.
The governor in his proposed state budget included $41 million to expand Q Comp to all school districts statewide.
In the past some DFL lawmakers have grumbled that Q Comp is fine if a school district has a big enough staff to handle the paperwork, but for smaller school districts it’s too complex.
