VA gov touts K-12 merit-pay, corporate tax credits
RICHMOND, Va.Districts that have underperforming schools would be able to compete for $3 million to fund teacher performance-pay awards under a proposal advanced by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. McDonnell also was joined by legislators to promote a bill that would establish a tax-credit program for corporations that donate cash to nonprofit groups that provide private-school scholarships to needy students.

VA Governor Bob McDonnell promises to give teachers awards for working in difficult schools. Good idea but why not full performance-based salaries? And does he have consistent methods for evaluating performance?
