Under state law, school districts and BOCES are required to conduct an Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) for each teacher and principal, resulting in a rating of “highly effective,” “effective,” “developing” or “ineffective.” The requirement does not apply to teaching assistants, teacher aides or pupil personnel titles.

All parents/guardians have the right to obtain the APPR composite for their child’s teacher(s) and principal(s) once the rating scores are officially available.

To request a teacher/principal(s) rating, please contact Ginger Rinaldo, Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services.

New York State Education Law requires school districts to post their APPR plans to their district website, which can be found here.
