§ 391.690. Evaluations of postprobationary teachers; evaluations based upon certain number of scheduled observation cycles; request by postprobationary teacher for another evaluator

1. If a postprobationary teacher receives an evaluation designating his or her overall

performance as developing or ineffective, the postprobationary teacher must receive

one evaluation in the immediately succeeding school year which is based in part upon

three observation cycles which must occur in accordance with the observation schedule

set forth in subsection 1 of NRS 391.685 . If a postprobationary teacher receives evidence from the first two observation cycles

during the school year indicating that, unless his or her performance improves, his

or her overall performance may be rated as developing or ineffective on the evaluation,

the postprobationary teacher may request that the third observation cycle be conducted

by another administrator. If a postprobationary teacher requests that his or her third observation cycle be

conducted by another administrator, that administrator must be: (a) Employed by the school district or, if the school district has five or fewer administrators,

employed by another school district in this State; and (b) Selected by the postprobationary teacher from a list of three candidates submitted

by the superintendent. 2. If a postprobationary teacher receives an evaluation designating his or her overall

performance as effective, the postprobationary teacher must receive one evaluation

in the immediately succeeding school year. The evaluation must be based in part upon at least one scheduled observation cycle,

which must occur within 120 days after the first day of instruction of the school

year. 3. If a postprobationary teacher receives an evaluation designating his or her overall

performance as highly effective for 2 consecutive school years, the postprobationary

teacher must: (a) Participate in one observation cycle in the school year immediately following

the school year in which the postprobationary teacher receives a second consecutive

evaluation designating his or her performance as highly effective; and (b) Receive one evaluation in the school year immediately following the school year

in which the postprobationary teacher participated in the observation cycle pursuant

to paragraph (a). The evaluation must be based in part upon at least one scheduled observation cycle,

which must occur within 120 days after the first day of instruction of that school

year.
