Introduced by: Jeffrey M. Frederick | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Standards of Learning assessments; administration to teachers. Directs the Board of Education to provide for the administration and scoring of such Standards of Learning assessments in the relevant subjects for public school teachers, and requires full-time teachers, whether probationary or on continuing contract status, to obtain a passing score annually as a condition of initial and continued employment. If a teacher provides instruction in a grade level for which there is no Standards of Learning assessment, such teacher shall be required to obtain a passing score on the relevant assessment for the next highest grade level.

Failure of a probationary teacher to obtain such passing score shall result in such teacher's dismissal from employment.

Failure of a continuing contract teacher to obtain a passing score will result in dismissal. These dismissals do not constitute a grievance for purposes of the teacher grievance procedures.
