PERA, EvaluationsandSB7/RIF: Putting It All Together

The evaluation, retention and dismissal of your staff is really a series of interconnected steps that create a cycle that must be followed each year. This workshop is designed for early career Superintendents and other administrators who would benefit from a practical, immediately useful refresher course on this essential topic. Information will be shared on each step of the cycle including the PERA Joint Committee, the SB7/RIF Committee and the timelines in which each of these committees must complete their work. Participants will also review the pertinent documents from their own districts relevant to this cycle and time will be given for Q and A. Participants should have available during the workshop their district’s most recent PERA Joint Agreement, any Memorandum of Understanding signed with their teacher union regarding evaluations under PERA, their most recent Sequence of Honorable Dismissal List from 2021, and any other RIF Joint Committee documents in force. Presenters—Ralph Grimm, IASA Field Services Director and retired Illinois Superintendent, and Patrick Durley, retired Illinois Regional Superintendent. Sessions available: January 13, 14 and 21 at 8:30–11:30am; January 24 at 12:30–3:30pm. info•register
