FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Education Commissioner Statement On Teacher Evaluation Regulations Lawsuit
"Our goal all along has been to make sure every child gets the best education possible. Sound, comprehensive teacher evaluations will help ensure every classroom has a great teacher leading the way to that goal. That’s exactly what our regulations create—a comprehensive, fair teacher evaluation process.
СƵ is in a ‘Race to the Top’ on behalf of our students; the longer we go without a process for evaluating educators, the longer that race will take us.
It’s not appropriate to comment about on-going litigation, but we’re confident our regulations will be upheld by the court."
John B. King, Jr.
Commissioner of Education
