The state has mandated that a performance-based salary plan be in place for the 2013-14 school year. Half will be based on a teacher’s evaluation.
Well in todays Times Union Sonita Young, the district's chief human resources officer said , It’s likely, that very few teachers will fall into the “highly effective” category under the new system. Most of Duval’s teachers are going to fall under “effective” or “needs improvement” because there isn’t a correlation between the existing definition of “highly effective” and the new one.
Well friends how are teachers supposed to get merit pay then? Or was them not getting it the plan all along?

I am 100% sure the plan was, all along, for few (if any) teachers to ever achieve "highly effective."
