Arizona Public School Districts' Planned Uses of Proposition 301 Monies

This report describes how school districts are planning to use their Proposition 301 monies with regard to the three purposes outlined in statute: base pay increases, performance pay, and specified maintenance and operations purposes. Overall, districts are planning to use 97 percent of these monies to fund teacher compensation. The majority of districts are distributing the base pay increases in equal dollar amounts to eligible employees. While some districts have existing plans, most are developing new plans for distributing the performance-based pay. Finally, although the maintenance and operations (menu) allocation can be directed to six program options, 165 districts put some portion of this money into additional teacher compensation.

In addition to providing a statewide analysis, this report also contains a page for each district, detailing its planned uses of Proposition 301 monies.
