Amendment No. 12

Yeas:  Adams, Duncan, Ellis, Hoffman, Lincoln, Salo, Zharoff

and so, Amendment No. 12 failed.                                               
                                                                               
Senator Phillips offered Amendment No. 13 :                                     
                                                                               
Page 8, line 24, after "research":                                             
	Insert "that does not entitle the individual to receive                       
retirement, health, or leave benefits, except social security                  
replacement if required by the Internal Revenue Code"                          
                                                                               
Senator Phillips moved for the adoption of Amendment No. 13.                   
Senator Duncan objected, then withdrew his objection.  There being             
no further objections, Amendment No. 13 was adopted.                           
                                                                               
Senator Ellis offered Amendment No. 14 :                                        
                                                                               
Page 2, line 26:                                                               
	Insert new subsection:                                                        
		(d) Not withstanding 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 as provided in section (c).  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 third year, but the teacher is not fully      
tenured, tenure rights become effective as prescribed in AS                    
14.20.150(b).  Non-retention during the third year may only be for             
just cause.
