Purpose


The purpose and effect of this rule development is to provide implementing procedures and criteria for the submission, review and approval by the Department of Education of school district systems for personnel evaluation under Section 1012.34, Florida Statutes. This rule also addresses procedures and requirements for monitoring and reporting system status and impact on student learning performance, instructional practice and school leadership practice. Rule revisions will implement changes to Section 1012.34, Florida Statutes, as prescribed in the Student Success Act (SB 736) of 2011 and Education Accountability (HB 7069) of 2015. Changes will include a title change, the inclusion of school administrator evaluation systems, and technical updates to the existing rule to reflect current citations and other conforming language.
