(b) Participation of school discticts in the programs established pursuant to this article shall be on a voluntary basis. A school district shall be eligible to participate only upon the approval of participation by both the governing board of the district and the exclusive representative of certificated employees of the district.

2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 2 - ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 3 - LOCAL ADMINISTRATION › PART 25 - EMPLOYEES › CHAPTER 3 - Certificated Employees › ARTICLE 13 - Principal Evaluation System › Section 44671.

44671. (a) Criteria for effective school principal evaluations may be based upon the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders. These standards identify a school administrator as being an educational leader who promotes the success of all pupils through leadership that fosters all of the following:
(1) A shared vision.
(2) Effective teaching and learning.
(3) Management and safety.
(4) Parent, family, and community involvement.
(5) Professional and ethical leadership.
(6) Contextual awareness.
(b) A school principal evaluation may include, but not be limited to, evidence of all of the following:
(1) Academic growth of pupils based on multiple measures that may include pupil work as well as pupil and school longitudinal data that demonstrates pupil academic growth over time. Assessments used for this purpose must be valid and reliable and used for the purposes intended and for the appropriate pupil populations. Local and state academic assessments include, but are not limited to, state standardized assessments, formative, summative, benchmark, end of chapter, end of course, advanced placement, international baccalaureate, college entrance, and performance assessments. For career and technical education, authentic performance assessment is a strong indicator of effective teaching and learning.
(2) Effective and comprehensive teacher evaluations, including, but not limited to, curricular and management leadership, ongoing professional development, teacher-principal teamwork, and professional learning communities.

44681. The Legislature recognizes that the principal plays a pivotal role in the life of a school. Research indicates that at schools where pupil achievement is higher than might be expected, principals provide strong leadership and support. Teachers at these schools report that their principals facilitate innovation, support teachers in efforts to promote new ideas, and assist staff to acquire needed skills and materials. Other studies show that the principal is the most effective agent for bringing about educational improvement.
The Legislature further recognizes that although principal leadership is essential to effective instruction, research shows that many principals are neither prepared nor encouraged to be educational leaders. According to principals and others, administrator training does not always match responsibilities of the job, and opportunities for continuing development are inadequate.
The Legislature, by the provisions of this article, intends to provide site and central district administrators ongoing opportunities to improve their management and leadership skills. The Legislature intends that administrator support and development activities funded by this article will result in direct improvements in services to California public school pupils. The Legislature further intends that current funding for duplicative educational programs be redirected to fund the provisions of this article.
It is also the intention of the Legislature to enhance the desirability of teaching as a profession by promoting a school environment that facilitates a constructive working relationship between teachers and administrators.

44682. (a) Any school district, county superintendent of schools, or consortium of those entities shall be eligible for funds in order to establish an administrator training and evaluation program, which shall provide to school administrators support and development activities designed to improve clinical supervision skills.
(b) In order to receive funding for an administrator training and evaluation program, a school district, county superintendent, or consortium shall:
(1) Develop a three-year plan for support and development activities, based on a systematic assessment of unmet needs of pupils and school personnel in the districts to be served.
(2) Operate the program in conjunction with the teacher education and computer center which serves the school district or county office of education or, in the case of a program operated by a consortium, operate the program in conjunction with one or more teacher education and computer centers which serves a school district or county office of education in the consortium.

(5) A direct relationship between proposed activities and specific school improvement goals developed pursuant to an existing or new process which involves principals, central district administrators, teachers, other school personnel, secondary students, and parents.
