SB 22-069

Senate Bill 22-069, which has been signed into law, prevents Colorado school districts from using student academic growth data and performance plan types to evaluate teachers for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years. This means that during these two years, factors like test scores won't be used in determining a teacher's evaluation rating. The bill also allocates $21,265 from the state’s general fund to help the Department of Education implement this change. This law primarily affects teachers and school districts across Colorado. Since it has been signed, the provisions are now in effect for the specified years.
