Bill Summary
Amends the Evaluation of Certified Employees Article of the School Code.

However, allows an artificial intelligence tool to be used to support the evaluator in administrative tasks.
AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code to prohibit evaluators from using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assign numerical scores or qualitative ratings for any part of a teacher's evaluation or any task requiring professional judgment, though AI can still be used to assist evaluators with administrative duties. It also prohibits teachers from using AI to generate evidence of their professional practice for evaluation purposes, but allows teachers to use AI for administrative support. The bill specifies that if either an evaluator or a teacher uses an AI tool, they must disclose the name and specific purpose of that tool to the other party. The joint committee responsible for teacher evaluation plans will determine the broader guidelines for AI use in teacher evaluations.
