Background and Development of the Commission 
Following completion of its budget preparations for the 1981 fiscal year, the State Board of Education, accepting recommendations of Charles McDaniel, State Superintendent of Schools, committed itself to a comprehensive review and study of how Georgia teachers are paid. The board voted to accomplish this task by creating a Georgia Teacher Salary Study Commission composed of a cross section of citizens from throughout the state. During the fall of 1979, each State Board of Education member was asked to nominate individuals to serve on a salary study commission. Professional, business and industry groups and the legislative and executive branches of state government were also asked to nominate members. The final commission of 26 members represented all geographic regions of Georgia. The members came from varied backgrounds, the majority being lay citizens and the remainder coming from the education profession. The selection was conducted during September and October of 1979 and completed in November. William Riley of Atlanta was selected to chair the commission. At the chairman's request, a seven-person executive committee was formed to coordinate the work of the commission. It was composed of Riley and commission members Sherman Day, Charles Harris, Jewel John, James Johnson, Fern Patterson and John Weitnauer. 
Summary of Recommendations 
The teacher salary schedule recommended by the commission contains the following features. 1. The beginning salary is increased above $12,000. 2. Experience increments are a true 2.5 percent of the previous year's salary. 3. Experience steps are included through the 19th year of service. 4. The difference between levels of certification remains at 13 percent of the base teacher's salary. 5. Merit incentive for the beginning T-4 teacher is tied to the requirement of performance-based certifica- 
tion.

 Summary of Commission Work 
The first meeting of the commission was held in conjunction with the December meeting of the State Board of Education. State Board Chairman Roy Hendricks charged the commission with the task of reviewing the current salary index schedule for Georgia teachers and making recommendations to improve the present system of paying teachers. 
Carvin Brown of the University of Georgia, who worked as a consultant to the commission during the study, presented background material and a thorough discussion of index salary schedules. State Superintendent of Schools Charles McDaniel outlined the need for the study and challenged the commission with the following list of issues for discussion. 
1. Should the current salary schedule index be retained and future increases tied to that index? 2. Should across-fhe-board increases be used for the next several years in order to raise the entry level 
compensation with the result being higher percentage increases for the lower end of the current schedule? 3. Should the current percentage increments between years of experience be retained? Increased? Decreased? 4. Should the number of years for automatic increment increases be extended beyond the current 14? 
5. Should years of experience be grouped to reduce the number of incremental steps currently in effect? 6. Should the current percentage differences between levels of certification be retained? Increased? 
Decreased? 7. Should a separate salary index schedule be developed for each level of certification? 8. Should administrators and supervisors be on a separate salary index from teachers? 
During December through May, the commission met monthly on the first Tuesday. The executive committee met on the third Tuesday to review the previous commission meeting, make preparations for the upcoming meeting and develop recommendations for action by the commission. 
Individual members of the commission were given opportunity to present to the entire commission any recommendations they felt would improve the present system. A number did so, addressing these issues specified by the commission. 
1. What form should any future salary schedule take? 2. If the index schedule is desired, what would the schedule you recommend look like? Contrast your 
recommendation with the current schedule. 3. What are your recommendations as to the experience factor? (Currently the index stops with the 
fourteenth year.) 4. What is your reaction to across-the-board increases as recommended by the State Board of Education 
and the Governor for next year (1981) vs. percentage increases (not the amount but the concept)? 5. What are your views on administrators and supervisors remaining on the teacher salary schedule? 6. What other issue or issues are specifically important to you or the organization you represent? 
Other members of the commission expressed their recommendations in writing to the chairman, and they were shared with the full commission. 
Commission members were urged to seek input from the organizations they represented and the communities in which they lived in order to ascertain the thoughts of as many Georgia citizens as possible concerning salaries for teachers in the state. These concerns were shared with the commission. 
In addition, the executive committee asked the Georgia Department of Education to use its public information network to achieve feedback from citizens. Numerous comments were received by the commission following television, radio and print media requests. 
Commission members presented several approaches to improving the index schedule. National trends in teacher pay were explored and a survey made of the southeastern states to determine Georgia's position compared to that of other states (see Appendix A). 
In terms of the structure of salary schedules, the commission worked from the very general to the very specific. Members presented specific forms of schedules for discussion and debate in the general meetings. 
6 
 
 From the presentations, from comments by citizens and discussions during meetings, the following conclusions were reached by the commission. 1. The salary for teachers, particularly the beginning teacher, must be improved. 2. Reimbursement to local systems for teachers should remain on some form of index schedule. 3. Additional years of experience beyond the current 14 should be recognized by any index schedule. 4. Experience step salary increases should be based upon a true percentage ofthe previous year's salary. 5. Some form of merit incentive should be added to the salary schedule. Using computer facilities of the Georgia Department of Education, the executive committee was able to develop models of various schedules for consideration of the full commission. Following numerous computer runs and lengthy discussions, the commission took a series of straw votes to set priorities for the development of a schedule. The following priorities were identified and presented to the executive committee as direction for the development of a salary schedule. 1. Basic teachers' salaries, as provided to local school systems from the state, shou~d be continued on an 
index salary schedule. 2. The index salary schedule should begin with a base salary that is significantly higher than is currently 
in force. 3. The increments for years of experience should be a true percentage difference from the previous year's 
salary. 4. The increments for experience should be extended beyond the fourteenth year. 5. A merit incentive should be included in the beginning T-4 teacher's salary calculation. Taking these priorities into consideration, the executive committee developed a salary schedule and returned to the commission with a recommendation for action. The commission met on May 6, 1980, to finalize its recommendation. The recommendation of the executive committee was fully discussed and an opportunity was given for members to comment on any aspect of the study. The members then voted the unanimous decision to accept the executive committee's recommendation. (It should be noted that one letter of dissent was received from a member who could not attend. This letter was read to the commission by the chairman prior to the vote.) During the study many questions were raised about fringe benefits for teachers as well as other areas concerning the profession. The commission did not attempt to address all these concerns during its deliberations, choosing to remain within the scope of the charge. However, the commission recommends that the state board study these identified areas (Appendix H) and address them further as soon as practicable.

 Recommendations 
The commission recommends that the State Board of Education accept the following specific criteria and implement a new salary schedule based upon them for inclusion in the 1982 fiscal year budget. 1. An index schedule should be maintained. 2. The percentage between levels of certification, i.e., T-4 - T-5, T-5 - T-6, T-6 - T-7, should be maintained 
as 13 percent of the base salary. 3. Experience steps should be 2.5 percent of the previous year's salary rather than a percentage of the 
base salary. 4. The experience steps should be extended beyond the fourteenth year through the nineteenth year of 
experience and, as funds become available, additional years of experience should be added to the index beyond the nineteenth year. 5. For the beginning teacher with the T-4 certificate, the zero, first and second years of experience should be collapsed into one salary. Any increases during that three-step period should be based on additional monies granted by the legislature as base salary or by a merit increase. The possibility of a merit increase should be tied to the requirements for performance-based certification, with such an increase to be given upon an individual's completion of all requirements for performance-based certification. This recommended merit incentive would work as follows. A beginning T-4 certificated teacher currently is al!owed three years to meet all the requirements for performance-based certification. Included in this requirement are completing an approved course of study, passing with an acceptable score the subject area criterion-referenced test and being assessed on the job at an acceptable level of performance. A beginning teacher with aT-4 certificate who meets all requirements for a continuing renewable professional certificate would automatically be moved the following year to the third step on the salary schedule. The commission feels that this would add a merit incentive for new teachers to complete all requirements for the performance-based certificate as early as possible. The commission suggests that providing the incentive for moving to the third step on the salary index schedule as early as the end ofthe first year would significantly increase the career earning power of a teacher. The Georgia Teacher Salary Study Commission's work would not be complete without repeated urging of the acceptance of the recommendations included in this report and the inclusion of the requests to fund these recommendations in the 1982 fiscal year budget. A prototype of the recommended schedule is found in Appendix E.

 Recommendations for Further Study 
The commission recommends to the Georgia Board of Education that the following areas be topics for further study by the board. These were discussed by the commission during its deliberations on the index schedule. The commission, in trying to fulfill its mandateto develop a new index schedule, did not have the time to investigate each of these areas to the extent necessary to make proper, well-thought-out recommendations. The commission, however, strongly recommends that the state board give consideration to a more thorough study of the areas of concern and questions listed here. 1. Supervisory/Administrative Personnel- Should supervisors' /administrators' salaries be tied to the 
teacher index salary schedule? A secondary concern is the adequacy of state supplements provided supervisory/administrative personnel. 2. Paraprofessionals/Instructional Aides - Many supplemental instructional personnel are employed in Georgia schools. Should instructional aides' salaries be tied to the teacher index salary schedule? 3. Teaching Field Shortages/Incentives - Many teaching fields have critical shortages, i.e., industrial arts, math, etc. Should the state provide incentives for teachers and prospective teachers in shortage areas? Such incentives might include scholarships or supplements. 4. Teacher Absenteeism - Teacher absenteeism has reached critical proportions in some instances. What can be done to reward teachers for being in the classroom? Should the state provide incentives for perfect or near-perfect attendance? Is the state allocation to provide for leave benefits adequate? 5. Merit Pay - Should the state initiate some opportunity for merit pay in addition to the index salary schedule? At present there is no way to reward outstanding service. Some index schedules, for example, allow merit increases to five percent of the teachers for outstanding performance. 6. Inservice Education - Staff development/inservice education programs often take teachers away from classrooms or force them to attend using personal time. Should the state increase the number of paid contract days to allow for inservice/staff development activities during periods of time when students are not in session? 7. Fringe Benefits - Fringe benefits are as critical to workers as salary. Should the present state fringe benefit package be revised? What fringe benefits could be presented to make the teaching profession more attractive to new teachers and more desirable for experienced teachers? 8. Extending Years of Experience - Some attention should be given to adding one year of experience to the recommended schedule each year for the next 10 years to extend the schedule through the 29th year of experience. 9. Personal Leave - The whole area of personal leave should be reviewed with consideration of whether personal leave should continue to be tied to sick leave.
