Abstract: This study sheds light on principal perceptions of the impact of performance pay in an urban South Texas School District that is situated on the border of Texas and Mexico. This qualitative naturalistic inquiry case study used researcher as instrument (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). in order to glean the perceptions of principals who serve campuses of students that are predominantly Hispanic and underserved low-socioeconomic students. Strategies to facilitate trustworthiness and credibility of the study were implemented (Erlandson, Harris, Skipper, & Allen, 1993). Major themes include: 1) the critical need for teacher quality, 2) the significance and impact of principals as teacher coaches, 3) the necessity of discernment in understanding of the purpose of performance base compensation as well as the impact of performance-based compensation (including the impact of that at three levels); and, 4) the impact on student achievement. The fifth theme evidenced participant perspectives on whether performance-based compensation improves recruitment and retention of quality teachers.
