A bill for an act modifying provisions related to the membership of teacher quality committees.

This bill modifies how teacher quality committees are staffed in Iowa schools. It changes the rule for appointing teacher members from being selected by a teachers' union (if one exists) or school administration to requiring all teacher members to be appointed directly by school district or agency administration. School districts seeking state funding under Chapter 284 for teacher performance programs must create such committees with this new appointment process. The change simplifies committee formation by removing the requirement for union involvement in appointments.
