October 12, 2016 Revised – §3012-d Supplemental Form for Alternate SLOs (Material Change) Timothy P. Ryan, Superintendent Fabius-Pompey Central School District 1211 Mill Street Fabius, NY 13063 Dear Superintendent Ryan: Congratulations. I am pleased to inform you that the material change you submitted to your currently approved Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) plan on the Supplemental Form for Alternate SLOs meets the criteria outlined in Subpart 30-3 of the Commissioner’s Regulations and has been approved. As a reminder, we are relying on the certifications and assurances that are part of your approved APPR plan and those found in the Supplemental Form for Alternate SLOs. If any material changes are made to your approved plan, your district/BOCES must submit such material changes to us for approval. Please see the attached notes for further information.

Please be advised that, pursuant to Education Law §3012-d, the Department will be analyzing data supplied by districts, BOCES, and/or schools and may order a corrective action plan if there are unacceptably low correlation results between the Student Performance category and the Teacher Observation or Principal School Visits category, and/or if the teachers’ or principals’ overall ratings and subcomponent scores show little differentiation across educators and/or the lack of differentiation is not justified by equivalently consistent student achievement results, and/or if schools or districts show a pattern of anomalous results in the Student Performance category and/or the Observation/School Visits category.

The New York State Education Department and I look forward to continuing our work together, with the goal of ensuring that every school has world-class educators in the classroom, every teacher has a world-class principal to support his or her professional growth, and every student achieves college and career readiness.

Thank you again for your hard work.

Sincerely,

MaryEllen Elia

Commissioner Attachment

PLEASE NOTE: Pursuant to section 30-3.17 of the Rules of the Board of Regents, during the 2015-16 through 2018-19 school years, your district/BOCES must calculate transition scores and ratings for teachers and principals that exclude the results of grades 3-8 ELA and math State assessments and any State-provided growth scores. During the 2016-17 through 2018-19 school years only, your district/BOCES must use the alternate SLOs described in your “Supplemental Form for Alternate SLOs” which have been incorporated into your approved §3012-d APPR plan for teachers and principals who, as a result of the above exclusions, have no remaining measures in the Student Performance Category. During this transition period, your district/BOCES must also continue to provide affected teachers and principals with their original APPR scores and ratings calculated based on the measures in your currently approved APPR plan without any modifications, substitutions, or replacements as a result of the transition regulations. Original APPR scores and ratings must be used for advisory purposes only and shall have no impact on employment decisions, tenure determinations, or teacher and principal improvement plans. Teachers and principals whose APPRs do not include grades 3-8 ELA and math State assessments or State-provided growth scores are not impacted by the transition regulations. Accordingly, APPR scores and ratings for such staff must be calculated pursuant to your district’s/BOCES’s approved APPR plan without any modifications, and no transition scores and ratings need be generated. The transition period will end at the conclusion of the 2018-2019 school year. Beginning in the 2019-20 school year, each educator will receive only a single set of scores and ratings pursuant to the measures outlined in your district’s/BOCES APPR plan. Only documents that are incorporated by reference in your APPR have been reviewed and are considered as part of your APPR; therefore, any supplemental documents such as memorandums of agreement or understanding that were uploaded with your APPR but are not incorporated by reference in your APPR have not been reviewed. However, the Department reserves the right to review the uploaded attachments at any time for consistency with your APPR plan and/or to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and as a result of such review, the Department may reject your APPR plan and/or require corrective action.

Annual Professional Performance Review - Supplemental Form for AlternateSupplemental Form Directions - Directions

Page Last Modified: 09/20/2016

Directions

As an alternative to completing this Supplemental Form for Alternate SLOs, a district/BOCES may open their APPR plan and include the relevant

information in Task 2 (Transition) and Task 7 (Transition).

To open your approved APPR plan, please contact [email protected].

Pursuant to section 30-3.17 of the Rules of the Board of Regents, during the 2015-16 through 2018-19 school years, your district/BOCES must calculate

transition scores and ratings for teachers and principals that exclude the results of grades 3-8 English Language Arts (ELA) and Math State assessments and any

State-provided growth scores. During the 2016-17 through 2018-19 school years only, alternate student learning objectives (SLOs) must be generated to

calculate transition scores and ratings for teachers and principals who have no remaining Student Performance Category measures as a result of the above

exclusions. Please note that districts/BOCES must also continue to provide affected teachers and principals with their original APPR scores and ratings

calculated based on the measures in their currently approved APPR plan without any modifications, substitutions, or replacements as a result of the transition

regulations during the transition period. Original APPR scores and ratings must be used for advisory purposes only and shall have no impact on employment

decisions, tenure determinations, or teacher and principal improvement plans.

Teachers and principals whose APPRs do not include grades 3-8 ELA and math State assessments or State-provided growth scores are not impacted by the

transition regulations and their evaluations shall be calculated pursuant to their district’s/BOCES’ approved APPR Plan without any changes, and no transition

scores and ratings need to be generated.

This supplemental form must be completed by districts/BOCES whose Education Law §3012-d Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) plans were

approved by the Department for use beginning in the 2015- 16 school year in order to specify the alternate SLOs, as described above, that will be used for

applicable teachers and principals during the remainder of the transition period (i.e., the 2016-17 through 2018-19 school years). Beginning in the 2019-20

school year, districts and BOCES will no longer be required to calculate transition scores and ratings, and will only calculate a single set of scores and ratings

for each educator pursuant to the measures and assessments outlined in their approved §3012-d APPR plan. For more information please see the December

2015 Board of Regents item at http://www.regents.nysed.gov/common/regents/files/1215bra10.pdf, and the Department’s Frequently Asked Questions

Guidance document regarding sections 30-2.14 and 30-3.17 of the Rules of the Board of Regents on EngageNY at

https://www.engageny.org/resource/guidance-on-new-york-sannual-professional-performance-review-law-and-regulations.

This form must be completed and submitted no later than March 1, 2017 for the 2016-17 school year. Please note that if your district/BOCES wishes to make

changes to the measures and assessments used for the alternate SLOs in future school years, you must submit this form on or before March 1 of the school year

in which the changes will take effect. The Department will not accept late submissions of this form.

Upon submission, the Department will only review the information included on this supplemental form and no other portions of the APPR plan will be

reviewed by the Department for compliance with Education Law §3012- d. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the district/BOCES to assure that the changes

requested in this form will not have an impact on the implementation of any other part of their approved APPR plan since the Department will not be reviewing

the remaining portions of the approved APPR plan for compliance with Education Law §3012-d. The Department recommends that districts/BOCES consult

with their local counsel before submitting this supplemental form or any material changes to their currently approved plan in the APPR Portal.

During the 2016-17 through 2018-19 school years, pursuant to the requirements of §30-3.17 of the Rules of the Board of Regents, grades 3-8 NYS

ELA/math assessments and any State-provided growth scores may only be used for advisory purposes and may not be used for the purpose of

calculating transition scores and ratings.

If grades 3-8 ELA/math State assessments and any State-provided growth scores are the entirety of the Student Performance category, districts/BOCES must

also develop an alternate SLO based on assessments that are not grade 3-8 ELA/math State assessments and/or on State-provided growth scores for the

Required subcomponent of the Student Performance category during the transition to higher standards through new State assessments aligned to revised

learning standards and a revised State-approved growth model.
