Bill > H331

This bill amends Section 38 of Chapter 71 of the General Laws, which pertains to educator evaluations, by removing the existing fifth paragraph and replacing it with new language. The key change is that the results of these evaluations can now be used when making decisions about dismissing, demoting, or removing a teacher or administrator, as outlined in specific sections of the law (sections forty-two, forty-two A, and sixty-three). However, the bill also clarifies that these evaluation results are not required to be shared with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which is the state agency responsible for overseeing education.
