National Education Association to Advise ACPS on Teacher Compensation Issues

The National Education Association has signed on with Alexandria City Public Schools to review and make recommendations on how ACPS recruits, places, develops, evaluates and compensates its employees.

The intent of the initiative, which is expected to take three years, is to go beyond current pay-for-performance models and to develop the best possible system to support modern teaching and create an exceptional student learning environment, according to ACPS.

NEA President Dennis Van Roekel, ACPS Superintendent Morton Sherman and Gina Miller, president of the Education Association of Alexandria, say the collaboration is a strategic approach designed to create the next generation of compensation innovation.

“ACPS is thrilled to be the only public school division in the country to enter this unique collaboration with NEA," Sherman said.
