Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund a sum sufficient to provide financial incentives to individuals who accept employment as principals of schools after the schools are identified as low-performing.  These funds also may be used to provide a financial incentive to any principal who is assigned to a school after it is identified as low-performing when the school meets its goals within two years after the principal is assigned to that school. These incentives may be in the form of a one-time bonus or as an enhancement to their retirement benefits.
