Fair and Effective Teacher Evaluation, Assistance and Dismissal. The Parties agree that it shall be appropriate for the Board to terminate as incompetent under the Connecticut Teacher Tenure Act a tenured teacher who is: (a) fairly evaluated, (b) timely notified that he or she has significant deficiencies in his or her teaching performance, (c) provided an opportunity for appropriate assistance, and (d) who nevertheless fails successfully to accomplish an appropriate improvement plan. The Parties further agree that if a teacher is notified of an unsatisfactory evaluation by November 1 of the school year, an appropriate improvement plan need not last longer than 120 calendar days in order to provide the teacher with an adequate opportunity to improve, except when the teacher experiences extraordinary obstacles beyond his or her control or demonstrates improved performance which may, in the judgment of the Board and Union, warrant a second year of improvement. This agreement is not intended to change the fact that evaluations and their consequences are not subject to the grievance procedure of the contract.
