2020 House Bill 5953

End most teacher quality assessments

Introduced in the House

July 22, 2020

Introduced by Rep. Lori Stone (D-28)

To repeal a requirement that the individual performance of all public school teachers be assessed each year with “evidence of student growth” the predominant factor. Instead, teachers would only be assessed every three years, except that those categorized as “needing support” would receive annual assessments. This would replace current requirements all teachers be rated each year and deemed as either highly effective, effective, minimally effective or ineffective. See House Bill 5952.

Referred to the Committee on Education
