What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill clarifies that the requirements in the national teacher certification and master educator licensure grant program related to an individual being placed in a performance category in an educator effectiveness evaluation system apply only to those individuals who must be evaluated under an educator effectiveness evaluation system. Current law requires each school board and the operator of each independent charter school to use an educator effectiveness evaluation system to evaluate teachers and principals in the school district or charter school. Current law does not require the governing body of a private school to use an educator effectiveness evaluation system to evaluate teachers and principals at the private school.
This bill also eliminates duplicative language requiring the Department of Public Instruction to promulgate administrative rules governing teacher education programs in this state.
