About PICCS The Partnership for Innovation in Compensation for Charter Schools (PICCS) is a comprehensive program designed to recruit, retain, develop and reward top quality teachers and school leaders at charter schools. Led by the Center for Educational Innovation - Public Education Association (CEI-PEA), PICCS is funded through federal grants from the Teacher Incentive Fund program, which supports development of performance-based compensation systems to drive increases in student performance. Twenty-two public charter schools, located in New York City and Buffalo, form the PICCS partnership.
