Utah ed leaders: Share teacher data with parents

Lisa Schencker:

Parents may soon be able to learn how their children's individual teachers rate when it comes to student achievement.

But the general public will not be given access to that information.

The Utah state school board jumped this week into what's become a national debate over whether individual teacher performance data should be released publicly. The board voted 9-6 on Friday to encourage school principals to share classroom-level achievement data with parents who ask for it. But the data will not be posted publicly, meaning nonparents will not have access to it, and parents will not likely be able to see that information for schools other than their own.
