Primary and secondary education
Under current law, DPI must develop an educator effectiveness evaluation system (EEES). Current law requires school districts and the operator of a charter school that is operated by or under contract with UW-Milwaukee, UW-Parkside, the Milwaukee Area Technical College, or the city of Milwaukee (an independent charter school) to employ the EEES to evaluate teachers and principals on a variety of measures. This bill permits DPI to charge a fee to school districts and independent charter schools to use the EEES developed by DPI. The bill also permits DPI to award grants to school districts to implement an EEES or equivalency evaluation process. The bill creates three new appropriations related to implementing the EEES.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
