between local principal and teacher evaluations and (A)

retention rates of teachers.
(10) A process for assessing whether school district
evaluation systems developed pursuant to this Act and that

consider student growth as a significant factor in the
rating of a teacher's and principal's performance are

be issued assessing such systems for validity and
reliability, contribution to the development of staff, and
improvement of student performance and recommending, based

factor in the rating performance for remaining school
