"In May, the Board of Regents adopted critical reforms that will allow schools for the first time to more accurately measure the performance of teachers and school leaders.Ìý This new teacher and principal evaluation system will allow local districts to recognize and replicate teaching excellence, provide intensive professional development for teachers in need of additional support and provide a fair, objective and expedited means of removing ineffective teachers from the classroom.ÌýIt is the critical foundation of all of our efforts to ensure that every classroom is led by a highly effective teacher. We have every confidence that it will be upheld by the courts."
