You may have�recently read�on the front page of�The New York Times�about The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School,�which will attempt to attract and retain master teachers by paying them a $125,000 salary (plus a potential bonus).�TEP, which will serve at-risk, low-income middle school students in Washington Heights (NYC), is able to revolutionize teacher compensation�not through fundraising but rather by reallocating the public funding that�TEP receives as a public charter school; part of TEP's mission is to inspire other schools to truly invest in great teachers and, in so doing, achieve educational equity for low-income students.�TEP is currently seeking 10 individuals who are inspired by TEP's mission and who want�to become founding members of TEP's Capital Campaign Advisory Board.� This Advisory Board will spearhead TEP's efforts over the next year to raise funds for the school's new facility (the only�area for which TEP does fundraise), which is scheduled to break ground in late 2009.
