Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1440 amends the Education Code to provide an exception to the mandatory annual teacher evaluations to allow a school teacher to be appraised less frequently than once each school year if the teacher agrees in writing and the teacher's most recent evaluation rated the teacher as at least proficient, or the equivalent, and did not identify any area of deficiency. The bill requires a teacher who is appraised less often than once a year to be appraised at least once during each five-year period.
