Summary


The first change in this proposed rule revision is including clarifying language to indicate that the use of the state calculations measuring student learning growth for inclusion in personnel evaluations by districts is optional. As part of this first change, language explicitly stating that districts must use the state calculation is being removed. The second change is the addition of language explaining how districts may use state calculations for school administrators. Other proposed changes are those that clarify terminology and methodology used in the statistical calculations of student learning growth, and remove exemptions that no longer apply because the use of these results is now optional under any circumstance.
