| TN | Signed into law 06/2007 | P-12 | During the first year a system or school is on probation, the commissioner of education shall: (A) Have the authority to approve a school system's allocation of financial resources to a system or school on probation; (B) Have the authority to appoint a local community review committee to approve and monitor the school improvement plan; and (C) Implement at least one (1) or more of the following corrective actions: (i) Replace or reassign staff; (ii) Mandate a new, research based curriculum; (iii) Significantly decrease management authority at the school;
(iv) Appoint instructional consultants; and (v) Reorganize the internal management structure.
Effective with school year 2007-2008, each school and LEA shall include in their annual school improvement plans specific goals for improvement, including, but not limited to, school
performance on value added assessment and other benchmarks for student proficiency, graduation rates and ACT scores where applicable, and student attendance. School improvement plans shall also identify areas of strengths and weakness as well as strategies to improve areas of weakness, how additional funds provided through the BEP as the result of changes made in the BEP formula for school year 2007-2008 will be used to address these areas and how the LEA will measure the improvements supported by these funds. Such strategies may include, but are not limited to: (1) Developing school or content-based professional development; (2) Developing teacher induction programs; (3) Increasing the number of reading and math specialists; (4) Increasing classroom equipment and supplies; (5) Reducing class size; (6) Using targeted tutoring and remediation; (7) Increasing numbers of school counselors and
social workers; (8) Providing principal professional development; (9) Using enhanced technology for remediation and re-testing; (10) Employing school attendance officers; (11) reorganizing the school day instructional time; and (12) Implementing a standards based curriculum and associated instructional strategies.
Requires the office of education accountability to review a sample of system and school improvement plans, determine what actions were taken in response to the annual plans, and report the results of its review to the select oversight committee on education and the house and senate education committees.
(1) Makes it discretionary, rather than mandatory, that principals' performance contracts provide for bonuses beyond base salary if performance standards are exceeded; (2) Removes the requirement that when a principal exercises the authority to make staff decisions regarding administrative personnel for the principal must do so "pursuant to local school board policy"; (3) Removes authorization for a principal's designee to provide assessments to teachers. The principals will be required to provide the written assessments and meet with teachers to discuss the assessments; and (4) Removes the requirement that the contract entered into between a school board and a director of schools specify duties other than those prescribed by statute and that it contain performance standards including, but not limited to, school system performance on value added assessment and other benchmarks for student proficiency, graduation rates and ACT scores where applicable, and student attendance. Also removes the requirement that the contract provide for consequences when such standards are unmet and provide for bonuses if performance standards are exceeded.
Requires the state board to develop the guidelines for differentiated pay plans by December 31, 2007, and requires each LEA to implement a differentiated pay plan before the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year. Requires the report card or assessments of the effectiveness of teacher training programs to be issued by November 1 of each year. Requires the first report cards or assessments to be issued no later than November 1, 2008.
