What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to develop a

system to evaluate the effectiveness of teachers and principals in public schools,

including independent charter schools. DPI must also promulgate rules establishing

an equivalency process aligned with its evaluation system for a school district or

independent charter school that wishes to use an alternative method of evaluating

teachers and principals. This bill allows a charter school under contract with a school

board that is not an instrumentality of the school district to use an alternative

method of evaluating teachers and principals.
