PRINCIPALS
All school districts have two choices in selecting a method to appraise principals:
a principal appraisal system recommended by the Commissioner of Education (T-PESS)
OR
a locally developed principal appraisal system ( TAC - Title 19, Part 2, Chapter 150.1021, subchapter BB)
Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, each principal appraisal shall include the campus level academic growth or progress of the students enrolled at the principal's campus.
SUPERINTENDENTS
The previously existing Commissioner's recommended process for appraisals of superintendents has been removed from the TEA Appraisal Rules. See TEC 21.354 Appraisal of Certain Administrators 21.354 (C1)
Since there currently is not a commissioner's recommendation process for appraisals of superintendents, option 21.354 (C2) is the available option. This locally developed option is a two-step process that involves:
development of the appraisal system by the district in consultation with the district-level committee
and
adoption by the Board of Trustees
