  • Welcome to the Committee of Practitioners

Welcome to the Committee of Practitioners

 

In 1988, P.L. 100-297 authorized the State Department of Education to establish a Title I Committee of Practitioners (COP). In accordance with this statute, the committee is to be composed of administrators, teachers, parents, representatives of non-public school children and representatives of neglected and delinquent institutions. The law requires all major proposed or final rules or regulations issued by the state be reviewed by the Committee of Practitioners. Beginning in FY1998, the COP became a cross programmatic committee. Under NCLB, renamed ESSA, the COP covers all ESSA programs that are in the Consolidated Plan.

        Teacher Evaluation Affirmations Fri, Dec 16 2022

        During the legislative session of 2022 the legislature repealed A.R.S. 15-952 as part of the K-12 Budget Reconciliation Bill that was signed by Governor Doug Ducey.  Due to this repeal an LEA will no longer be required to submit an Affirmation of Teacher Evaluations by February 1st to the Educator and School Excellence Unit.  The repeal of 15-592 though does not remove the evaluation requirements of the LEA for certificated teachers as required under A.R.S. 15-537.
