Effective
September 1, 2021, this bill repeals the requirements that measurements of
student learning and growth be significant factors in performance evaluations
and professional growth systems for teachers and principals and that certain
state assessment growth data be used as at least one measure of performance
for teachers and principals. The
required use of state assessment growth data as a performance measure was
part of statutory changes made in Public Law 2015, chapter 3 to address
compliance concerns with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of
1965 that could have resulted in the loss of certain federal funds had those
concerns not been addressed. With the
passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act, which reauthorized the ESEA, the
federal requirements for educator evaluation and support systems went
away. Given that change, passage of
this bill will not put receipt of federal funds at risk. |
|
This legislation requires the Department of
Education to amend it rules to implement these changes. Additional costs to the department
associated with the rulemaking process can be absorbed within existing
budgeted resources. |
