AI Summary
This bill amends existing Kentucky law (KRS 156.557) concerning the evaluation of certified educators, which refers to teachers and administrators. The key changes allow a superintendent to initiate a "summative evaluation," which is a final assessment of an educator's performance at the end of an evaluation cycle, including a conference and written report. Additionally, the bill mandates that these summative evaluations must be presented to the local board of education, which is the governing body of a school district. These provisions aim to provide more flexibility in initiating evaluations and ensure that the local board is informed of the outcomes of these assessments.
