Evidence Used In Evaluation The following categories of evidence shall be used in evaluating each Educator:
A. Multiple measures of student learning, growth, and achievement, which shall include:
i. Measures of student progress on classroom assessments that are aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks or other relevant frameworks and are comparable within grades or subjects in a school;
ii. Common assessments of student learning, growth, and achievement related to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks or the Massachusetts Vocational Technical Education Frameworks or other relevant frameworks that are comparable across grades and/or subjects district-wide. These measures may include: portfolios, approved commercial assessments and district-developed pre and post unit and course assessments, and capstone projects.
iii. Measures of student progress and/or achievement toward student learning goals set between the Educator and Evaluator for the school year or some other period of time as established in the Educator Plan.
iv. For Educators whose primary role is not as a classroom teacher, the appropriate measures of the Educator's contribution to student learning, growth, and achievement set by the District. The measures set by the District should be based on the Educator's role and responsibility. See rubrics in Appendix A.
B. Judgments based on observations and artifacts of practice including:
i. Unannounced observations which are typically at least 10 minutes.
ii. Announced observation(s) for non-PTS Educators in their first year of practice in a school, PTS Educators, Educators on Improvement Plans, and as determined by the evaluator.
iii. Examination of Educator work products.
iv. Examination of student work samples.
C. Evidence relevant to one or more Performance Standards, including but not limited to:
i. Evidence compiled and presented by the Educator, including: • Evidence of fulfillment of Standard IV: Professional Culture, including, but not limited to, professional responsibilities and growth such as self-assessments, peer collaboration, professional development linked to goals in the Educator plans, contributions to the school community and professional culture; and/or other items as described under Standard IV: Professional Culture. • Evidence of fulfillment of Standard III: Family and Community Engagement, including, but not limited to active outreach to and engagement with families, for example, phone logs, newsletters, conferences, district approved applications and platforms such as websites and email correspondence and /or other items as described in Standard III: Family and Community Engagement.
ii. Evidence of progress towards professional practice goal(s);
iii. Evidence of progress toward student learning outcomes goal(s).
iv. Student Feedback (subject to negotiations)
v. Any other relevant evidence from any source that the Evaluator shares with the Educator. Other relevant evidence could include information provided by other evaluators/administrators such as the superintendent. Relevant information from other sources will be assessed by the Evaluator and information will be shared with the Educator.
vi. An Educators submission of evidence to support meeting the indicators of performance for Standard I: Curriculum, Planning and Assessment and Standard II: Teaching All Students, is optional as this evidence is typically gathered by the Evaluator during a classroom observation. Submission of evidence supporting either Standards I or II can provide additional data for inclusion in the Formative or Summative Reports. If an Educator chooses to submit evidence for these categories, it is suggested that the evidence be included by the time the Summative Report will be written.

The Budget delivered during the week of March 4, 2024 shall be the Approved Budget for March 2024.

Each week promptly after the delivery of the Variance Report, the Borrower’s senior management and financial professionals shall review the Variance Report in detail during a telephonic conference with the Lenders.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Budget shall be updated, modified or supplemented by the Administrative Borrower with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders), and upon the request of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders) from time to time.
(c) Each Budget delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders) and shall be prepared in good faith, with due care and based upon assumptions the Borrower believe to be reasonable.
(d) Within one (1) Business Day of any Loan Party having knowledge of their occurrence or existence, Administrative Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Lenders with written notice of any event or condition which is reasonably likely to entail expenditures of more than $100,000 which is not included in the Approved Budget (including, but not limited, on account of an accident, environmental event or other unanticipated occurrence) or which would otherwise be reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the value of the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ assets or future business prospects or a similar event.
