2025 House Bill 48: AN ACT relating to education

HB 48 would increase the time period between mandatory summary evaluations for tenured school staff from once every three years to once every five years. Additional summative evaluations will be at the discretion of the staff member's supervisor. This also requires the Department of Education to create a recurring four-year professional development training schedule. Teachers will also be able to access their teaching contracts upon request and there is no longer a mandated formal induction program for new teachers. This also prohibits the Department of Education from requiring comprehensive school improvement plans that are not required by federal law.

KSVT supports this bill because it has bipartisan support and attempts to streamline administrative processes for teachers.
