Prohibits State Board of Education from requiring student growth objectives to evaluate teachers.
This bill (A2405) prohibits New Jersey's State Board of Education from requiring "student growth objectives" as part of teacher evaluations. Currently, these objectives - which measure student progress against state standards - account for 15-50% of a teacher's evaluation score. The bill explicitly bans the State Board from mandating these objectives or any similar assessment method. It takes effect immediately upon enactment, directly affecting how teachers are evaluated statewide.
