Board approves ABSS evaluation rubric and certified evaluation proposals, keeps pay-for-performance structure
Summary
The board approved a refined ABSS evaluation rubric and three certified-evaluation items including continued use of the district's pay-for-performance classroom site fund; the package allows eligible teachers to earn up to $2,000, with $1,700 tied to rubric performance and $300 to a district student-growth survey.
The governing board voted to approve a refined ABSS evaluation rubric and certified evaluation recommendations presented by district staff and committee members. The approved package includes reuse of the existing teacher evaluation rubric for one more year, continuation of the classroom site fund pay-for-performance model, and updates to the certified-evaluation handbook and timelines.
Mary Gutierrez, who represented the certified-evaluation committee, told the board the committee recommended reusing the current rubric after testing it this year and making refinements to support novice educators. She said the committee's certified-pay structure allows an eligible person to earn up to $2,000 annually under two components: rubric-based performance (up to $1,700 for effective/highly effective ratings) and a $300 districtwide student-growth survey award if district growth targets are met.
Gutierrez described the evaluation process, training requirements for "qualified evaluators" (principals, ABSS, APs and some specialists), and a clarified timeline requiring summative evaluations to be completed by the first Friday in May to align with payroll and business deadlines.
A board member moved to approve the rubric, the classroom site-fund allocation approach, and the certified evaluation handbook; the motion passed by roll-call vote with the board recording unanimous "Aye" responses.
