voiceofsandiego.org: Schooled... Principals Won't Be Evaluated with Test Scores


voiceofsandiego.org: Schooled... Principals Won't Be Evaluated with Test Scores:

"Remember the fuss about including school test scores as part of principals' evaluations? It looks like that is now off the table.

This week, the San Diego Unified board approved a plan to keep using the old evaluation for principals this year, before rolling out a new version that doesn't include test scores. That version was piloted by principals last spring, before the school district altered its proposed evaluation to include school performance. That proved controversial with principals, who pushed against it."
