The problem is that L.A Unified could not, apparently, get the teachers union to agree to a 3-tiered performance evaluation.

United Teachers L.A. has instead wanted to keep a 2-tier rating system: "meets standard performance” or “below standard performance.”

L.A. Unified says without the 3 tier system, fed rules say that control of funds will be lost, costing jobs & services to students.
Howard Blume @howardblume · 10m 10 minutes ago
