Standards of Quality. Revises the Standards of Quality to require local school boards to (i) provide for data collection and analysis and to use such results in instructional program evaluation; (ii) implement any actions identified through the academic review of schools accredited with a warning; (iii) analyze and report annually the results of industry certification examinations; (iv) annually review their professional development programs; and (v) report compliance with the Standards of Quality annually to the Board of Education.
In addition, the bill (i) increases from 10 to 17 the full-time equivalent instructional positions for each 1,000 students identified as having limited English proficiency; (ii) provides that teacher, administrator, and superintendent evaluations shall be consistent with the performance objectives included in the Guidelines for Uniform Performance Standards and Evaluation Criteria for Teachers, Administrators, and Superintendents developed by the Board of Education; (iii) replaces Board- and locally-adopted six-year statewide or divisionwide plans, as the case may be, (including those for educational technology) with "comprehensive" statewide or divisionwide plans; and (iv) replaces individual school six-year plans with "comprehensive" plans.
The measure also includes a number of technical or clarifying amendments and additional cross-references for other Code sections. This bill is identical to SB 779.
