Teacher Development and Evaluation Changes
By now you've all been introduced to the new plan for teacher evaluations.
This change is required by State statute. Keep in mind that our plan is a work in progress and we will revise it at the end of the year.
The entire plan, with forms, is attached here.
Health Insurance Transparency and Accountability Act
The WBLTA took the unprecedented step of formally adopting a legislative stance for approval of the HITA Bill (Health Insurance Transparency and Accountability Act). As you know, health insurance premiums have skyrocketed in the past few years. This bill will go a long way towards curbing the worst abuses that lead to higher costs.
