TEACHERS' TENURE (EXCERPT)
Act 4 of 1937 (Ex. Sess.)
38.93 Teacher on continuing tenure; individualized development plan; performance evaluation; failure to comply with subsection (1) as evidence of satisfactory performance.
Sec. 3.
(1) The controlling board of the school district employing a teacher on continuing tenure shall ensure that the teacher is provided with a performance evaluation at least once every 3 years and, if the teacher has received a less than satisfactory performance evaluation, the school district shall provide the teacher with an individualized development plan developed by appropriate administrative personnel in consultation with the individual teacher. The performance evaluation shall be based on, but is not limited to, at least 2 classroom observations conducted during the period covered by the evaluation and, if the teacher has an individualized development plan, shall include at least an assessment of the teacher's progress in meeting the goals of his or her individualized development plan. This section does not prevent a collective bargaining agreement between the controlling board and the teacher's bargaining representative under Act No. 336 of the Public Acts of 1947, being sections 423.201 to 423.216 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, from providing for more performance evaluations or classroom observations in addition to those required under this section. Except as specifically stated in this subsection, this section does not require a particular method for conducting a performance evaluation or classroom observation or for providing an individualized development plan.
(2) Failure of a school district to comply with subsection (1) with respect to an individual teacher in a particular 3-year period is conclusive evidence that the teacher's performance for that period was satisfactory.
