TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — State education officials say ten districts from across

principal evaluation pilot program.
The Department of Education announced Tuesday that 70 districts overall
applied to participate in the programs during the 2012-2013 school year.
The districts in the teacher evaluation program will share in $1 million that

Educators in the participating districts will work collaboratively with the
