SECTION 4. 22-9-106 (1) (d) (III), (1) (e), (3.5), and (4.5), Colorado Revised Statutes, are amended to read:
22-9-106. Local boards of education - duties.

In developing the certificated personnel performance evaluation system and any amendments thereto, the local board and board of cooperative services shall consult with administrators, principals, and teachers employed within the district or participating districts in a board of cooperative services, parents, and the school district certificated personnel performance evaluation council or the board of cooperative services personnel performance evaluation council created pursuant to section 22-9-107. The performance evaluation system shall contain, but shall not be limited to, the following information:
(d) The purposes of the evaluation, which shall include but need not be limited to:
(III) Providing the measurement of satisfactory performance for individual certificated personnel and serving as documentation for an unsatisfactory performance dismissal proceeding under article 63 of this title and, where appropriate, for license revocation pursuant to section 22-60.5-107;

(3.5) A teacher whose performance is deemed to be unsatisfactory pursuant to paragraph (e) of subsection (1) of this section shall be given notice of deficiencies. A remediation plan to correct said deficiencies shall be developed by the district or the board of cooperative services and the teacher.

The employing school district or board of cooperative services shall notify the department of education when it requires a teacher to remediate deficiencies. At a minimum, such notice shall include the teacher's name, the term of the remediation plan, and the performance deficiencies to be corrected under the plan.
(4.5) (a) Any person whose performance evaluation includes a remediation plan shall be given an opportunity to improve his or her performance through the implementation of the plan. If the next performance evaluation shows that the person is now performing satisfactorily, no further action shall be taken concerning the original performance evaluation, and the employing school district or board of cooperative services shall so notify the department of education. If such evaluation shows the person is still not performing satisfactorily, the evaluator shall either make additional recommendations for improvement or may recommend the dismissal of such person in accordance with the provisions of article 63 of this title.
(b) In the case of a teacher whose performance evaluation includes a remediation plan, if the performance evaluation shows that the teacher still is not performing satisfactorily, the employing school district or board of cooperative services may notify the department of education of the failure to successfully remediate. On receipt of such notification, the department shall initiate an investigation as provided in section 22-60.5-107 (6) to determine whether revocation of the teacher's license is appropriate based on a substantial and continued inability to comply with the performance-based teacher licensure standards adopted by the state board of education pursuant to section 22-2-109 (3). The employing school district or board of cooperative services shall cooperate with the department in the investigation, including but not limited to providing, upon request of the department, copies of any written documentation concerning the teacher's performance.

(6) (a) In the event a school district or a board of cooperative services requires a licensed teacher to fulfill the requirements of a remediation plan pursuant to section 22-9-106 (3.5), the school district or board of cooperative services shall notify the department of education of said requirement and at a minimum shall specify the name of the teacher, the term of the remediation plan, and the performance deficiencies to be corrected under the plan. Upon successful completion of the remediation plan, the school district or board of cooperative services shall so notify the department.
(b) If a teacher does not successfully complete a remediation plan developed pursuant to section 22-9-106 (3.5), the employing school district or board of cooperative services may so notify the department of education. On receipt of such notification, the department shall initiate an investigation to determine whether revocation of the teacher's license is appropriate based on a substantial and continued inability to comply with the performance-based teacher licensure standards adopted by the state board of education pursuant to section 22-2-109 (3). Any school district or board of cooperative services that notifies the department of education of a teacher's failure to successfully complete a remediation plan shall cooperate with the department in the investigation conducted pursuant to this paragraph (b), including but not limited to providing, upon request of the department, copies of any written documentation concerning the teacher's performance.
(c) The department may request from a school district and the school district shall provide information regarding a teacher's performance in completing a remediation plan if the department does not receive notification from the department of successful remediation pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (6).
(7) In the event the department of education receives complaints over a twelve-month period concerning the performance of a single teacher from parents whose children receive educational services from that teacher, the department shall initiate an investigation to determine whether revocation of the teacher's license is appropriate based on a substantial and continued inability to comply with the performance-based standards adopted by the state board of education pursuant to section 22-2-109 (3). The employing school district or board of cooperative services shall cooperate with the department in any investigation conducted pursuant to this subsection (7), including but not limited to providing, upon request of the department, copies of any written documentation concerning the teacher's performance.

The principal shall base his or her certification on the professional teacher licensee's performance evaluations conducted pursuant to the school district's written system for evaluation of licensed personnel adopted pursuant to section 22-9-106.
(c) In selecting professional development activities for the renewal of a professional teacher license pursuant to this section, a professional teacher licensee shall select those activities that will aid the licensee in meeting the performance-based teacher licensure standards adopted by the state board of education pursuant to section 22-2-109 (3).
