Weston Parents: Your Input Matters on Teacher & Admin Evaluations

Weston parents have a formal avenue to provide input on the evaluations of their children's teachers and school administrators, according to Florida Statute 1012.34.

To offer feedback on a teacher's performance, parents must contact one of the school's administrators. For input on an assistant principal's evaluation, parents should reach out directly to the school's principal. Feedback must be submitted in writing or communicated via phone call to the school.

The evaluation process for principals includes an annual component where parents can contribute through a stakeholder survey. Schools typically distribute the link to this electronic survey via their newsletters, official websites and social media channels. Supervisors of principals use the results from these surveys when conducting annual evaluations.

The Regional Superintendents and Assistant Superintendent Offices, which oversee schools from the Sawgrass Expressway to the Everglades, facilitate this process. They work with schools and stakeholders to address concerns and mediate issues, ensuring feedback is considered within the established evaluation frameworks for school personnel.
