How will the PAR Panel review a teacher on Intervention?
Districts have different voting requirements for deciding whether a teacher on Intervention will successfully leave the PAR program, continue for another year on Intervention, or be recommended for dismissal. Toledo requires a super-majority six votes from the Panel’s nine members in order to affirm or reject a CT’s recommendation, although most districts require a simple majority. In practice, however, Panels were widely said to reach agreement on all decisions. Clearly, in order to do so, the members of the PAR Panel must operate with a high level of trust and collaboration. “If you were just a fly on the wall, you wouldn’t be able to know who’s the union rep and who’s the district rep. If anything, sometimes the union can be harsher on poor performance than administration.” – San Juan District Administrator Over the course of Intervention, the CT reports about the teacher’s progress to the PAR Panel or to a subgroup of Panel members. San Juan CTs submit written reports every 6 weeks
