SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Teachers in New Mexico's Espanola Valley School District are threatening to sue over incentive pay they claim they're owed from the last school year.
Starting in 2006-07, Espanola teachers, principals and educational assistants received up to $3,000 a year if they could show improved academic performance by their students.
Our news partners at the Santa Fe New Mexican say the money came from the Teacher Incentive Fund.
That's a $600 million federal grant program designed to foster innovative approaches to reforming teacher pay.
The fund supports performance-based teacher and principal compensation to attract top talent to public schools.
Under the grant guidelines, the district is supposed to pay 75 percent of the cost of the program in the 2010-11 school year.
That's about $800,000.
But officials say the district doesn't have the money.
