Certified/Licensed Employee Right to Appeal of Unsatisfactory Summative Rating Sample Clauses

Certified/Licensed Employee Right to Appeal of Unsatisfactory Summative Rating. State law requires that each school district provide an appeal process to allow Certified/Licensed staff who receive a summative evaluation rating of Unsatisfactory to appeal that rating. The intent of the appeal process is to determine if the summative evaluation rating was appropriately applied. Decisions about a Certified/Licensed employee’s employment status are separate from decisions about final evaluation ratings. The grounds for the appeal of an Unsatisfactory summative rating shall be limited to the following: • The evaluator did not follow evaluation procedures that adhere to the requirements of statute or rule and that failure had a material impact on the final performance evaluation rating that was assigned (e.g. an observation was never completed or feedback was never shared with the Certified/Licensed employee). • The data relied upon to determine the final performance evaluation rating was inaccurately attributed to the teacher (e.g. data included in the evaluation was from students for whom the Certified/Licensed employee was not responsible).
