	"description": "A bill to reduce the weight of student test scores in teacher evaluations has been reintroduced in the Michigan Legislature, along with a few other evaluation-related measures that failed to pass in the last legislative session. HB 4221, introduced by Rep. Julie Alexander (R-Hanover), would return the percentage of an educator’s annual evaluation that is tied to student growth measures to 25 percent, a change that MEA has pressed for more than a year. That number rose to 40 percent this year in an automatic bump that was built into the evaluation overhaul passed in 2015.  In December, this change passed the State House with overwhelming bipartisan support but the bill died in the State Senate at the end of Lame Duck.   Please urge lawmakers to take up the long overdue legislation.",
