old gal , as you stated you are "a long time Senior Women's Administrator" How can you as a professional state that winning and losing should determine pay? Really ? So your schools failure rate should determine how much each teacher is paid, regardless of education level, time commitment and the work ethic and type of students in the classroom? Your pay should only increase if your schools meet No Child left behind standards each year and show improvement? So if you AYP drops or does not improve your pay should drop too?
