Summary

Trustees approved revisions to DNA (LOCAL) changing appraisal frequency: eligible teachers will be appraised at least once every three years, with option for teacher or principal to request a full appraisal in a non-appraisal year.

The Rockdale ISD Board of Trustees approved revisions to DNA (LOCAL) on a motion by Amy Casas, seconded by Julia Cardona. The revision updates criteria for less-than-annual teacher evaluations so that eligible teachers will be appraised at least once every three years.

The policy text included the provision: "Eligible teachers will be appraised at least once every three years. During any year in which a full appraisal is not scheduled, either the teacher or principal may request an appraisal by providing written notice." Trustees approved the change unanimously.

The change adjusts local appraisal scheduling but does not specify which teachers qualify as "eligible" in the minutes; implementation details and identification of affected staff were not included in the motion record.
