AI Summary
This bill modifies the School Code concerning teacher evaluations, specifically regarding the inclusion of student growth as a factor. Starting July 1, 2026, if a school district and its teachers' representatives cannot agree on whether to include student growth data in teacher evaluations, and there isn't an existing collective bargaining agreement that mandates its use, then the student growth component will be removed from the teacher evaluation plan. This change aims to provide a clear process for resolving disagreements on this aspect of teacher evaluations.
