Act Now to Change Student Growth Percentage

MEA lobbyists have been pushing for changes to the state’s evaluation law for more than a year. As of press time, House Bill 4221 and Senate Bill 122 were under consideration in the state Legislature. The measures would return the percentage of an educator’s annual evaluation that is tied to student growth measures to 25 percent from 40 percent. Please take time to contact your lawmakers and urge them to pass this long overdue legislation, using our convenient Action Network page at tinyurl.com/eval-letters.
