would have counted for fiscal year 2015 under Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 126C.05;

(2) add to the result of clause (1) the adjustment the district would have received
under Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 127A.47, subdivision 7, paragraphs (a), (b), and
(c), based on elections held before July 1, 2013;

(3) divide the result of clause (2) by the district's adjusted pupil units for fiscal
year 2015;

(4) add to the result of clause (3) any additional referendum allowance per adjusted
pupil unit authorized by elections held between July 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013;

(5) add to the result in clause (4) any additional referendum allowance resulting from
inflation adjustments approved by the voters prior to January 1, 2014;

(6) subtract from the result of clause (5), the sum of a district's actual local optional
levy and local optional aid under section 126C.10, subdivision 2e, divided by the adjusted
pupil units of the district for that school year; and

(7) if the result of clause (6) is less than zero, set the allowance to zero.

(b) A district's referendum allowance equals the sum of the district's initial
referendum allowance, new text begin plus any new referendum allowance authorized between July 1,

allowance for fiscal year 2015 that expires in the same year, the reduction under paragraph
(a), clause (6), to offset local optional revenue shall be made first from any allowances that
do not have an inflation adjustment approved by the voters.

subdivision 2, paragraph (c).

(3) The amount of any voter approved referendum, facilities down payment, and
debt levies shall not be reduced by more than 50 percent under this subdivision, except
that payments under section 298.28, subdivision 7a, may reduce the debt service levy by
more than 50 percent. In administering this paragraph, the commissioner shall first reduce
the nonvoter approved levies of a district; then, if any payments, severed mineral value
tax revenue or recognized revenue under paragraph (2) remains, the commissioner shall
reduce any voter approved referendum levies authorized under section 126C.17; then, if
any payments, severed mineral value tax revenue or recognized revenue under paragraph
(2) remains, the commissioner shall reduce any voter approved facilities down payment
levies authorized under section 123B.63 and then, if any payments, severed mineral value
tax revenue or recognized revenue under paragraph (2) remains, the commissioner shall
reduce any voter approved debt levies.

(4) Before computing the reduction pursuant to this subdivision of the health and
safety levy authorized by sections 123B.57 and 126C.40, subdivision 5, the commissioner
shall ascertain from each affected school district the amount it proposes to levy under
each section or subdivision. The reduction shall be computed on the basis of the amount

limitation in paragraph (3), an amount equal to the excess must be distributed from the
school district's distribution under sections 298.225, 298.28, and 477A.15 in the following
year to the cities and townships within the school district in the proportion that their
taxable net tax capacity within the school district bears to the taxable net tax capacity of
the school district for property taxes payable in the year prior to distribution. No city or
township shall receive a distribution greater than its levy for taxes payable in the year prior
to distribution. The commissioner of revenue shall certify the distributions of cities and
towns under this paragraph to the county auditor by September 30 of the year preceding
distribution. The county auditor shall reduce the proposed and final levies of cities and
towns receiving distributions by the amount of their distribution. Distributions to the cities

teachers.

(a) To improve student learning and success, a school board and an exclusive
representative of the teachers in the district, consistent with paragraph (b), may develop
a teacher evaluation and peer review process for probationary and continuing contract
teachers through joint agreement. If a school board and the exclusive representative of the
teachers do not agree to an annual teacher evaluation and peer review process, then the
school board and the exclusive representative of the teachers must implement the state
teacher evaluation plan under paragraph (c). The process must include having trained
observers serve as peer coaches or having teachers participate in professional learning
communities, consistent with paragraph (b).

(b) To develop, improve, and support qualified teachers and effective teaching
practices and improve student learning and success, the annual evaluation process for
teachers:

(1) must, for probationary teachers, provide for all evaluations required under
subdivision 5;

(2) must establish a three-year professional review cycle for each teacher that
includes an individual growth and development plan, a peer review process, and at least
one summative evaluation performed by a qualified and trained evaluator such as a school
administrator. For the years when a tenured teacher is not evaluated by a qualified and
trained evaluator, the teacher must be evaluated by a peer review;

(3) must be based on professional teaching standards established in rule;

(4) must coordinate staff development activities under sections 122A.60 and
122A.61 with this evaluation process and teachers' evaluation outcomes;

(5) may provide time during the school day and school year for peer coaching and
teacher collaboration;

(6) may include job-embedded learning opportunities such as professional learning
communities;

(7) may include mentoring and induction programs;

(8) must include an option for teachers to develop and present a portfolio
demonstrating evidence of reflection and professional growth, consistent with section
122A.18, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), and include teachers' own performance assessment
based on student work samples and examples of teachers' work, which may include video
among other activities for the summative evaluation;

(9) must use data from valid and reliable assessments aligned to state and local
academic standards and must use state and local measures of student growth and literacy
that may include value-added models or student learning goals to determine 35 percent of
teacher evaluation results;

(10) must use longitudinal data on student engagement and connection, and other
student outcome measures explicitly aligned with the elements of curriculum for which
teachers are responsible, including academic literacy, oral academic language, and
achievement of content areas of English learners;

(11) must require qualified and trained evaluators such as school administrators to
perform summative evaluations and ensure school districts and charter schools provide for
effective evaluator training specific to teacher development and evaluation;

(12) must give teachers not meeting professional teaching standards under clauses
(3) through (11) support to improve through a teacher improvement process that includes
established goals and timelines; and

(13) must discipline a teacher for not making adequate progress in the teacher
improvement process under clause (12) that may include a last chance warning,
termination, discharge, nonrenewal, transfer to a different position, a leave of absence, or
other discipline a school administrator determines is appropriate.

Data on individual teachers generated under this subdivision are personnel data
under section 13.43. The observation and interview notes of peer coaches may only be
disclosed to other school officials with the consent of the teacher being coached.

(c) The department, in consultation with parents who may represent parent
organizations and teacher and administrator representatives appointed by their respective
organizations, representing the Board of Teaching, the Minnesota Association of School
Administrators, the Minnesota School Boards Association, the Minnesota Elementary
and Secondary Principals Associations, Education Minnesota, and representatives of
the Minnesota Assessment Group, the Minnesota Business Partnership, the Minnesota
Chamber of Commerce, and Minnesota postsecondary institutions with research expertise
in teacher evaluation, must create and publish a teacher evaluation process that complies
with the requirements in paragraph (b) and applies to all teachers under this section and
section 122A.41 for whom no agreement exists under paragraph (a) for an annual teacher
evaluation and peer review process. The teacher evaluation process created under this
subdivision does not create additional due process rights for probationary teachers under
subdivision 5.

(3) failure without justifiable cause to teach without first securing the written release
of the school board;

(4) gross inefficiency which the teacher has failed to correct after reasonable written
notice;

(5) willful neglect of duty; or

(6) continuing physical or mental disability subsequent to a 12 months leave of

Prior to discharging a teacher under this paragraph, the board must notify the teacher
in writing and state its ground for the proposed discharge in reasonable detail. Within
ten days after receipt of this notification the teacher may make a written request for a
hearing before the board and it shall be granted before final action is taken. The board
may suspend a teacher with pay pending the conclusion of the hearing and determination
of the issues raised in the hearing after charges have been filed which constitute ground for
discharge. If a teacher has been charged with a felony and the underlying conduct that
is the subject of the felony charge is a ground for a proposed immediate discharge, the
suspension pending the conclusion of the hearing and determination of the issues may be
without pay. If a hearing under this paragraph is held, the board must reimburse the teacher
for any salary or compensation withheld if the final decision of the board or the arbitrator
does not result in a penalty to or suspension, termination, or discharge of the teacher.

(b) A board must discharge a continuing-contract teacher, effective immediately,

(c) When a teacher is discharged under paragraph (b) or when the commissioner
makes a final determination of child maltreatment involving a teacher under section
626.556, subdivision 11, the school principal or other person having administrative
control of the school must include in the teacher's employment record the information
contained in the record of the disciplinary action or the final maltreatment determination,
consistent with the definition of public data under section 13.41, subdivision 5, and must
provide the Board of Teaching and the licensing division at the department with the
necessary and relevant information to enable the Board of Teaching and the department's
licensing division to fulfill their statutory and administrative duties related to issuing,
renewing, suspending, or revoking a teacher's license. Information received by the Board
of Teaching or the licensing division at the department under this paragraph is governed

hiring authority must contact the Board of Teaching and the department to determine
whether the teacher's license has been suspended or revoked, consistent with the discharge
and final maltreatment determinations identified in this paragraph. Unless restricted by
federal or state data practices law or by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement,
the responsible authority for a school district must disseminate to another school district
private personnel data on a current or former teacher employee or contractor of the district,
including the results of background investigations, if the requesting school district seeks

Credits.

A pupil must not audit a course under this section.

A district shall grant academic credit to a pupil enrolled in a course for secondary
credit if the pupil successfully completes the course. Seven quarter or four semester
college credits equal at least one full year of high school credit. Fewer college credits may

shall determine the number of credits that shall be granted to a pupil who successfully
completes a course. If a comparable course is offered by the district, the school board
shall grant a comparable number of credits to the pupil. If there is a dispute between the
district and the pupil regarding the number of credits granted for a particular course, the
pupil may appeal the board's decision to the commissioner. The commissioner's decision
regarding the number of credits shall be final.

The secondary credits granted to a pupil must be counted toward the graduation
requirements and subject area requirements of the district. Evidence of successful
completion of each course and secondary credits granted must be included in the pupil's
secondary school record. A pupil shall provide the school with a copy of the pupil's grade
in each course taken for secondary credit under this section. Upon the request of a pupil,
the pupil's secondary school record must also include evidence of successful completion

postsecondary institution must award postsecondary credit for any course successfully
completed for secondary credit at that institution. Other postsecondary institutions may
