2019 House Bill 4221

Reduce student test score measures in teacher ratings

Introduced in the House

Feb. 21, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Julie Alexander (R-64)

To reduce from 40 percent to 25 percent the amount that student growth and assessment data (meaning test results) contributes to annual year-end evaluation ratings of classroom teachers, with the rest of the measure based on more subjective factors determined by local school administrators. A 50 percent standard for “core content areas” would remain.

Referred to the Committee on Education
