AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code concerning teacher evaluations, specifically addressing the use of student growth data. Beginning July 1, 2026, if a school district and its teachers cannot agree on whether to include student growth as a factor in teacher performance ratings, and there isn't a collective bargaining agreement that already covers the teacher evaluation plan, then the student growth component will be removed from the evaluation plan. This change aims to provide a resolution mechanism when agreement on this specific aspect of teacher evaluations cannot be reached.
