1. If a postprobationary teacher receives an evaluation designating his or her overall performance as developing or ineffective, the postprobationary teacher must receive one evaluation in the immediately succeeding school year which is based in part upon three observation cycles which must occur in accordance with the observation schedule set forth in subsection 1 of NRS 391.685. If a postprobationary teacher receives evidence from the first two observation cycles during the school year indicating that, unless his or her performance improves, his or her overall performance may be rated as developing or ineffective on the evaluation, the postprobationary teacher may request that the third observation cycle be conducted by another administrator. If a postprobationary teacher requests that his or her third observation cycle be conducted by another administrator, that administrator must be:

(a) Employed by the school district or, if the school district has five or fewer administrators, employed by another school district in this State; and

(b) Selected by the postprobationary teacher from a list of three candidates submitted by the superintendent.

2. If a postprobationary teacher receives an evaluation designating his or her overall performance as effective, the postprobationary teacher must receive one evaluation in the immediately succeeding school year. The evaluation must be based in part upon at least one scheduled observation cycle, which must occur within 120 days after the first day of instruction of the school year.

3. If a postprobationary teacher receives an evaluation designating his or her overall performance as highly effective for 2 consecutive school years, the postprobationary teacher must:

(a) Participate in one observation cycle in the school year immediately following the school year in which the postprobationary teacher receives a second consecutive evaluation designating his or her performance as highly effective; and

(b) Receive one evaluation in the school year immediately following the school year in which the postprobationary teacher participated in the observation cycle pursuant to paragraph (a). The evaluation must be based in part upon at least one scheduled observation cycle, which must occur within 120 days after the first day of instruction of that school year.
