Senator Ellis offered Amendment No. 15 :

	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 for 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 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.                                                        
                                                                               
Senator Ellis moved for the adoption of Amendment No. 15.                      
Objections were heard.
