Definitions & Process. (A) Teacher: The term teacher used herein shall refer only to tenured teachers, regularly employed by the school district.
(B) Criteria: The criteria will be objectively evaluated, scored, with the scores converted to a scale. The outcome will be weighted with the evaluation receiving 40% and seniority receiving 60%.
B-1 Formula used for evaluations: Evaluation: The evaluation used assigns four values to a teacher’s performance. These values shall be converted to a numerical point value: Seniority: Those who could potentially be laid off shall determine seniority. The most senior employee in the group shall receive the maximum point value.
(C) Fully certified: Shall mean such endorsements as required by the State Department of Public Instruction for certification purposes.
(D) Seniority: Seniority shall be defined as the total length of continuous service with the District.

B-1 Formula used for evaluations after September 1, 2012: Distinguished 4 Points Proficient 3 Points Basic 2 Points Unsatisfactory 1 Point (Number of Points Earned/Maximum Points Possible) x 40 = weighted evaluation portion. Example: Teacher A earns 75 points out of a possible 88 Points (4 x 22 = 88 points – evaluation form used after September 1, 2012 has 22 criteria areas). Teacher B earns 85 points on the evaluation. Teacher C earns 80 points. Teacher A – 75/88 x 40 = 34 Points Teacher B – 86/88 x 40 = 39 Points Teacher C – 80/88 x 40 = 36.4 Points Example: Out of the three teachers who could possibly be laid off Teacher A is the most senior with 15 years with the district. Teacher B has 12 years and Teacher C has 7 years. Each teacher would receive the following points: Teacher A – 15/15 x 60 = 60 points Teacher B – 12/15 x 60 = 48 points Teacher C – 7/15 x 60 = 27.9 points When combining the points for evaluation and the points for seniority results in the following: Teacher A Evaluation 34.0 Seniority 60.0 Total 94.0 Teacher B Evaluation 39.0 Seniority 48.0 Total 87.0 Teacher C Evaluation 36.4 Seniority 27.9 Total 64.3 Teacher C would be laid off if his/her points remain the lowest after using the formula on the two most recent evaluations. (In the event of a tie the rounding will be moved out an additional digit until such time as a different point value is determined) B-2 Formula used for evaluations before September 1, 2012 Quality 4 Points Meets High Quality District Standards 3 Points Needs Mentor Improvement 2 Points Not Applicable 1 Point (Number of Points Earned/Maximum Points Possible) x40 = weighted evaluation portion. Example: Teacher A earns 185 points out of a possible 228 Points (4 x 57= 228 points – evaluation used before September 1, 2012 has 57 criteria areas). Teacher B earns 200 points on the evaluation. Teacher C earns 188 points. Teacher A - 185/228 x 40 = 32.4 Points Teacher B – 200/228 x 40 = 35 Points Teacher C – 188/228 x 40 = 32.9 Points Example: Out of the three teachers who could possibly be laid off Teacher A is the most senior with 15 years with the district. Teacher B has 12 years and Teacher C has 7 years....
