HB 217                                                                       
Amendment No. 9 was offered  by Representative B. Davis:                        
                                                                               
Page 2, following line 12, insert a new subsection to read:                    
                                                                               
	"(c)  Notwithstanding AS 14.20.150 a school district may                   
withhold full tenure for up to two years, for a teacher whose                  
performance has been formally observed and evaluated as                        
needing improvement.  Nothing in this section prohibits a                      
school board from granting tenure to a teacher after two years                 
of satisfactory service.  If in the third year, the teacher's                  
evaluation indicates satisfactory performance, tenure will be                  
offered.  If the teacher is retained for a fourth year, but the                
teacher is not fully tenured, tenure rights become effective as                
prescribed in AS 14.20.150(b).  Non-retention during this                      
second two year period may only be for just cause."                          
                                                                               
Representative B. Davis moved and asked unanimous consent that                 
Amendment No. 9 be adopted.                                                    
                                                                               
Representative Ivan objected.                                                  
                                                                               
The question being:  "Shall Amendment No. 9 be adopted?"  The roll             
was taken with the following result:

Second Reading                                                                 
Amendment No. 9

And so, Amendment No. 9 was not adopted.
