HB 2019 - DIGEST

Addresses the evaluation process for: (1) Teachers who teach reading or language arts or mathematics in a grade in which the federally mandated statewide student assessments are administered; and

(2) Principals assigned to a school in which reading or language arts or mathematics are taught in at least one of the grades in which the federally mandated statewide assessments are administered.

Requires the office of the superintendent of public instruction to provide to each school district the relevant state-level assessment information necessary to determine student growth for the purpose of teacher and principal evaluations.

Delays the time in which evaluation results for certificated classroom teachers and principals must be used as one of multiple factors in making human resource and personnel decisions.
