NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he wants to give a $20,000 yearly incentive to New York City teachers who consistently receive top performance reviews.
The raises, which would push the annual salary of the city's highest-paid teachers to $120,000, would be tied to a new rating system that has yet to be hammered out. Teachers would have to get top reviews two years in a row to qualify.
