Per the new contract, if a building TDES Team approves a teacher’s request to reduce an SLO target for a student and the building principal disagrees, the teacher may appeal to the SLO Subcommittee within 10 working days of rejection. The SLO Subcommittee will review the SLO against the SLO Guidance Documents to determine if the proposed adjustment aligns with the Guidance Documents and make a determination.
