What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law directs school districts to administer certain standardized

examinations to pupils enrolled in the 4th, 8th, and 10th grades. Current law

prohibits a school board from using the results of the examinations to evaluate

teacher performance; to discharge, suspend, or formally discipline a teacher; or as

the reason for the nonrenewal of a teacher's contract.

This bill allows the use of the examination results for the evaluation of teacher

performance. The bill first applies to examinations administered during the

2009-10 school year.
