AB393,1,2
1An Act to amend 118.30 (2) (c) of the statutes;
relating to: using the results of
2standardized examinations to evaluate teachers.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law directs school districts to administer certain standardized
examinations to pupils enrolled in the 4th, 8th, and 10th grades. Current law
prohibits a school board from using the results of the examinations to evaluate
teacher performance; to discharge, suspend, or formally discipline a teacher; or as
the reason for the nonrenewal of a teacher's contract.
This bill allows the use of the examination results for the evaluation of teacher
performance. The bill first applies to examinations administered during the
2009-10 school year.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
