–Training and Experience Revenue
–Partially compensates school districts for salary differences of teachers employed in the district during the 1996-97 school year.   Districts receive additional revenue based on the educational attainment and seniority of their teaching faculty.
–This revenue stream is phasing out.  When districts no longer have faculty from the 1996-97 school year, their T&E revenue will be gone.
–
–Revenue is determined by sorting a district’s pre-1996-97 teachers into a matrix based on each teacher’s seniority and years of experience.  The matix is used to establish a “training and experience index” which establishes relationship of each salary position on the matrix (in each district) to the statewide average salary.
