A Consulting Teacher’s written recommendations shall be made at least annually. The Consulting Teacher shall continue to provide assistance to the participating teacher until the PAR Joint Panel acts on a recommendation. The participating teacher shall have the right to submit a 2.5 Exclusions written response to the final report.

b. The Consulting Teacher assigned by the PAR Panel will provide assistance to the Participating Teacher until he/she concludes that further assistance will not be beneficial, at which time the Consulting Teacher will submit a final report of the teacher’s participation in the program to the PAR Panel. The Participating Teacher may submit a written response to the final report and/or request a meeting with the PAR Panel subject to the rules established by the panel. A copy of the Consulting Teacher’s final report shall be provided to both the Participating Teacher and the Evaluator prior to its submission to the PAR Panel. The Evaluator will be provided the opportunity to address the PAR Panel upon request. The Evaluator’s comments shall be advisory only.
c. The PAR Panel will forward a final evaluation of the teacher’s participation in the program to the Governing Board, Superintendent, or designee. The evaluation and recommendation(s) of the PAR Panel and the peer review reports prepared by the Consulting Teachers shall be advisory only, for the benefit of the Participating Teacher and the District and shall in no way limit the District’s discretion or authority with regard to decisions and actions regarding the employment status of any employee. The fact that the employee is participating in PAR will not limit or delay the District’s authority or discretion to make any such decision or take any such action. Participation in PAR will not create any right or expectancy of continued employment by the District for any period of time.
