Modifies provisions governing school administrator evaluations and contracts

HB 2197 modifies how school principals, assistant principals, and superintendents are evaluated and contracted. It requires annual performance evaluations using student growth data and research-based tools, with written evaluations maintained in personnel files. The bill mandates school districts to notify building-level administrators of contract renewal or nonrenewal by February 15, with automatic renewal if notice is missed, and restricts nonrenewal to specific "for cause" reasons like poor performance or policy violations. Administrators facing nonrenewal gain due process rights, including written reasons, a hearing, and a 30-day school board decision.
