302.1 Superintendent Evaluation

The board will conduct an ongoing evaluation of the superintendent's skills, abilities, and competence.  At a minimum, the board will formally evaluate the superintendent on an annual basis.  The goal of the superintendent's formal evaluation is to ensure the education program for the students is carried out, promote growth in effective administrative leadership, clarify the superintendent's role, clarify the immediate priorities of the board, and develop a working relationship between the board and the superintendent.

 

The formal evaluation will also include an opportunity for the superintendent and the board, to discuss the written criteria, the past year's performance and the future areas of growth.  The evaluation is completed by the board, signed by the superintendent and filed in the superintendent's personnel file.

 

It is the responsibility of the board, to conduct a formal evaluation of the superintendent prior to May 15.

 

This policy supports and does not preclude the ongoing, informal evaluation of the superintendent's skills, abilities and competence.
