GothamSchools — daily independent reporting on NYC public schools

I think you have it backward. You write that the Senate bill ” includes funds for three things teachers unions often oppose: performance-based pay, education data systems, and a separate pot for charter schools.”

What the Ed Week article says is that “The Senate measure doesn’t contain money for the Teacher Incentive Fund, as we reported in our web story. And it doesn’t include the $250 million for state data systems as in the House bill. And there isn’t a separate $25 million fund for charter school facilities.”

The House bill even includes a separate provision to pay for a research study on incentive pay! This shows how relentlessly ideological the House Ed committee has become.
