  1 34                           EXPLANATION 
  1 35    This bill eliminates Code provisions that require an
  2  1 administrator to complete an evaluator training program under
  2  2 the student achievement and teacher quality program, Code
  2  3 chapter 284.
  2  4    In the definition of "evaluator", the bill replaces a
  2  5 reference to an administrator who successfully completes an
  2  6 evaluator training program with language that includes in the
  2  7 definition a practitioner who completes the training or an
  2  8 administrator who holds an evaluator license issued prior to
  2  9 July 1, 2003.  The bill also eliminates a requirement that
  2 10 teacher evaluation plans include a requirement that an
  2 11 administrator complete evaluator training.
  2 12    The Code allocates from an appropriation from the general
  2 13 fund of the state for purposes of the program the amount of
  2 14 $1,000 to compensate each administrator who completes
  2 15 evaluator training prior to July 1, 2004.  The bill eliminates
  2 16 this allocation.
