Welcome to the
Teacher ProComp
Comprehensive Professional Evaluation
Purpose
To recognize and reward teachers who demonstrate proficient and distinguished practice through a professional evaluation. Teachers are either Probationary or non-Probationary, depending on their length of service within the district.
Non-Probationary Teachers: Non-probationary employees are evaluated their first year of non-probationary status and then, every three years.
Probationary Teachers: A new employee with a CDE license hired into the district, or an employee who is coming back to the district after leaving is considered probationary for at least three years. An employee with an alternate license or hired with less than 120 work days left in the school year will add an additional year of probation. If the employee is on an emergency license, he or she will add another additional year of probation. Probationary employees are evaluated each year.

Professional Evaluation (CPE) Incentive Eligibility
Employees are only eligible for this incentive if they have had a scheduled evaluation. If an employee is scheduled for an evaluation and did not receive one at no fault of the employee, the employee may still be eligible for the incentive.
Only employees who receive a satisfactory evaluation are eligible for this incentive.
- During the probationary period, the employee is evaluated every year and is eligible for a 1% of index increase each year.
- Once an employee is non-probationary, the employee is evaluated once every three years and is eligible for a 3% of index increase.
- Innovation School Teachers: Non-probationary teachers with satisfactory evaluations, who teach at an innovation school, are evaluated every year of non-probationary status. An innovation school teacher is eligible for a CPE increase of 1% of the index if they did not receive a 3% of index increase in the last two contract years.

An unsatisfactory evaluation delays the CPE increase until the teacher receives a rating of satisfactory or better. A non-probationary employee will go on a performance plan for one year and a development plan for a second year. An employee on a performance or development plan is not eligible for this incentive.
Non-Probationary employees who are opting into ProComp for the first time and have not had a scheduled evaluation within the last two school years are eligible to receive a shadow payment (1% of index). The employee will continue to receive annual shadow payments until his or her next scheduled evaluation.
2009-'10 contract year and later:
- Beginning in the 2009/2010 contract year, employees who have more than 14 years of service at the time of their formal evaluation are ineligible to receive further salary increases from the CPE incentive. If you have more than 14 years of service at the time of payout, but had 14 or fewer years of service at the time of the formal evaluation, you will receive payment for the formal evaluation.
- Retirees who had a satisfactory evaluation and do not have more than 14 years of service will receive the value of the CPE increase as a lump sum bonus paid out during the following contract year.
How to Receive Payment:
Employee must be actively enrolled in ProComp and must have a status of active with benefits (AB), Active Retiree Exempt (AH), Active with J1 Visa-no PERA (AV), leave with pay (LP), leave summer pay/benefits (LR), or FMLA leave (LF) or Leave with full pay J1 Visa-No PERA (LV) at time of payout to be eligible for this incentive.
Upon earning a successful rating, probationary employees will receive 1% of index multiplied by their current FTE, while non-probationary employees will receive 3% of the index multiplied by their current FTE.
Payout timing:
The employee will receive payment in the Fall of the year following assessment, as long as the employee is still actively enrolled in ProComp and is on active or paid leave status.
If the employee is on unpaid leave at the time of payout, payment is effective the first of the month that the employee returns to a payable status (AB, AH, AV, LD, LF, LP, LR or LV). If an employee was terminated at the time of payout, but is rehired, there is no payment because experience was accounted for in the rehire salary. See the rules on the rehire page.
