Talent Initiative

The Need

The Opportunity

High quality teaching is the most important school-based factor affecting student achievement, yet Ravenswood teacher salaries are ~30% below neighboring districts and 40% leave RCSD within the first five years of teaching.  This history of below market compensation has hindered RCSD from an effective talent strategy & student outcomes .
The Ravenswood Talent Initiative is a public-private partnership providing bridge funding until RCSD can sustain the increased cost through long term property leases. A 10% initial raise immediately closes the gap with neighboring districts. Effective teachers have the opportunity for accelerated progress on the salary scale based on results from the annual evaluation. The $15.4M campaign will provide annual funding for up to 5 years. REF's commitment allows RCSD to launch the Talent Initiative this year.
