Governor Daniels wants to pay teachers based on students' grades.
Basándose is the present progressive form of basarse, so more literally it would be like, "basing (their pay) on the students' grades".

basarse
pronomial verb
also:
basarse en -> to base one's argument on; (persona) to be based on (teoría, obra)
¿en qué te basas (para decir eso)? -> what basis do you have for saying that?
basing the salary of the teachers on student grades
Are asking what specifically that the pronoun "se" refers to?
