§3886. Teaching credentials; regular certification; permanent certification; effect of
evaluation
A. If a teacher's evaluation demonstrates that he has met the standard for
effectiveness as determined by the board, using value-added data, for three years during the
initial certification or renewal process, a certificate shall be issued or renewed unless the
board receives evidence from the local board, through an appeal, that justifies
discontinuation. Similarly, if a teacher's evaluation demonstrates that he has not met the
standard for effectiveness as determined by the board, using either value-added data or other
components of the evaluation, for three years during the initial certification or renewal
process, the board shall not issue or renew a certificate unless evidence of effectiveness is
received from the local board, through an appeal, that justifies the issuance of a certificate.
B.(1)(a) A teacher who seeks a regular teacher certificate and holds a teacher
certificate from out of state or for teaching at a nonpublic school in Louisiana may be
credited with his years of teaching experience in the issuance of any teaching credential only
if the teacher has at least three years of either out-of-state teaching experience or in-state
nonpublic school teaching experience and receives a successful evaluation as provided by
board policy.
(b) A teacher providing instruction in a public school but not employed by the public
school governing authority may be credited with his years of teaching experience in the
issuing of a teaching credential only if the teacher is performing services for the school
pursuant to a corporate contract with a company approved by the board to provide such
services and the teacher receives a successful evaluation as provided by board policy.
(2) The board shall prescribe the process for the evaluations required by this
Subsection in rules adopted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
