This bill aims to prohibit the State Board of Education from requiring student growth objectives, or any similar assessments, in the evaluation of teachers. Currently, these objectives are a significant component of the teacher evaluation rubric, accounting for 15 to 50 percent of a teacher's overall evaluation. The bill asserts that, notwithstanding any existing laws, rules, or regulations, the State Board will not mandate the use of these objectives in teacher evaluations.

If enacted, this legislation would immediately take effect and would alter the current framework for teacher evaluations by removing the requirement for student growth objectives. This change reflects a shift in how teacher performance may be assessed, potentially impacting the overall evaluation process and the emphasis placed on student achievement metrics.
