|

| Speaker(s): |
Mr. Steve Rioux
|
|
|
Rationale:
During this past summer our administrative staff has been trained to implement the state's new teacher evaluation system. Also during the summer months the teacher evaluation committee has met and requested changes to the original proposal from CSDE. In this initial year of evaluations districts may opt to only evaluate 1/3 (one third) of their staff. This presentation will outline our exact intentions with respect to evaluation that has been approved by the state. Upon completion of the presentation and any discussion a vote by the board of education will complete the process. Mr. Rioux will present the Administrative Evaluation system at the next BOE meeting.
