Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 17, § 3886. Teaching credentials; regular certification; permanent certification; effect of evaluation

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. If a teacher's evaluation demonstrates that he has met the standard for effectiveness as determined by the board, using value-added data, for three years during the initial certification or renewal process, a certificate shall be issued or renewed unless the board receives evidence from the local board, through an appeal, that justifies discontinuation. Similarly, if a teacher's evaluation demonstrates that he has not met the standard for effectiveness as determined by the board, using either value-added data or other components of the evaluation, for three years during the initial certification or renewal process, the board shall not issue or renew a certificate unless evidence of effectiveness is received from the local board, through an appeal, that justifies the issuance of a certificate.

B. (1)(a) A teacher who seeks a regular teacher certificate and holds a teacher certificate from out of state or for teaching at a nonpublic school in Louisiana may be credited with his years of teaching experience in the issuance of any teaching credential only if the teacher has at least three years of either out-of-state teaching experience or in-state nonpublic school teaching experience and receives a successful evaluation as provided by board policy.

(b) A teacher providing instruction in a public school but not employed by the public school governing authority may be credited with his years of teaching experience in the issuing of a teaching credential only if the teacher is performing services for the school pursuant to a corporate contract with a company approved by the board to provide such services and the teacher receives a successful evaluation as provided by board policy.

(2) The board shall prescribe the process for the evaluations required by this Subsection in rules adopted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
