(From the Missouri National Education Association)
The House Rules Committee approved House Committee Substitute/House Bill (HCS/HB) 1526 (Scott Dieckhaus) on April 26, and the bill may be debated in the House early next week. HCS/HB 1526 imposes detailed mandates on teacher evaluation, such as requiring at least 50 percent of evaluations to be based on student test scores and prohibiting districts and employees from designing evaluation systems within collective bargaining negotiations. The bill also revises reduction-in-force requirements and repeals the state minimum salary law for experienced teachers with master's degrees. Missouri NEA opposes the bill.
