Amends existing law to provide for a commission on continuous improvement plans and student achievement measures and to revise provisions regarding staff evaluations, college and career advising, and literacy intervention.

This legislation eliminates several non-valued added activities associated with K-12 including reports and unnecessary bureaucracy. It drives effectiveness in the aspects of schools that Idaho’s citizens are primarily interested in, and that is: “are more kids learning to read, are they getting better at math, are more industry certificates being earned in CTE programs, and so on.” Additionally, this legislation sets up infrastructure so that the legislature, along with the Governor’s office, the state education agencies, and stakeholder groups, can consider ways to incentivize, encourage, and recognize high performing teachers and schools in an effort to encourage more schools to use practices that are highly successful here in Idaho.
