(a) Unless otherwise noted, the components of the principal evaluation rubrics shall apply to teaching staff members holding the position of principal, vice principal, or assistant principal and holding a valid and effective standard, provisional, or emergency administrative certificate.

(b) The principal evaluation rubric shall meet the standards provided in N.J.S.A. 18A:6-123, including, but not limited to:

1. Measures of student achievement pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:10-5.2; and

(c) To earn a summative rating, the principal, vice principal, or assistant principal shall have a student achievement score, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:10-5.2 and a principal practice score pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:10-5.3 and 5.4.

(d) Each score shall be converted to a percentage weight so all components make up 100 percent of the evaluation rubric. By August 31 prior to the school year in which the evaluation rubric applies, the Department shall provide on its website the required percentage weight of each component and the required summative rating scale. All components shall be worth the following percentage weights or fall within the following ranges:
