L.A. Unified board makes first statements about test score analysis of teachers

Jason Song

Los Angeles school board members made their first public statements Tuesday about evaluating teachers partially by analyzing student test scores, with most saying that the current system needs to be reworked and some adding that parents deserve more information about their children's teachers.

"As a parent, I think I have a right to know," said board member Nury Martinez, who added that she did not believe that the general public should be able to see a teacher's entire review.

Martinez also acknowledged that the district has lagged in updating its evaluation system.

"I also believe this conversation has taken way too long. I think we're talking years and years and years," she said. "We need to get the ball moving here."
