We oppose AB 5 (Teacher Evaluation) unless amended

August 20, 2012

Last week, we joined a coalition of student-focused organizations in opposing Assembly Bill 5 unless it is amended. Please see the letter below, written to the bill's author, Assemblymember Felipe Fuentes (D-39th District).

We believe AB 5 would weaken state level policies that support effective teaching and accountability for student growth, and could seriously undermine California's request to the Federal Department of Education for a waiver of No Child Left Behind.

You can find additional coverage of the bill from EdSource (here) and the Los Angeles Times (here).
