"In May, the Board of Regents adopted critical reforms that will allow schools for the first time to more accurately measure the performance of teachers and school leaders.�� This new teacher and principal evaluation system will allow local districts to recognize and replicate teaching excellence, provide intensive professional development for teachers in need of additional support and provide a fair, objective and expedited means of removing ineffective teachers from the classroom.��It is the critical foundation of all of our efforts to ensure that every classroom is led by a highly effective teacher. We have every confidence that it will be upheld by the courts."
