9 (1) At least 50 percent of a classroom teacher’s or school

21 appropriate measure of teacher performance.

23 evaluation of nonclassroom instructional personnel shall be
24 based on student outcome data that reflects the actual
25 contribution of such personnel to the performance of the
26 students assigned to the individual in the individual’s areas of
27 responsibility.

29 1012.22, Florida Statutes, the student assessment data in the
30 performance evaluation must be from statewide assessments or
31 district-determined assessments as required in s. 1008.22(8),
32 Florida Statutes, in the subject areas taught.

40 meeting. The school district shall publish the testing schedules
41 on its website, clearly specifying the district-mandated
