Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about the criteria or process used by the Department of Education to evaluate teachers' competency to teach health education under incidental teaching provisions. Despina Zaharakis explains the current approach.
- There are no specific DOE competencies for evaluating teachers under incidental teaching provisions
- The decision is made through a conversation between the principal and the superintendent
- The process involves the principal presenting their needs and available personnel to the superintendent for consideration
