1240 - Evaluation of the Superintendent
The primary purpose of the annual Superintendent evaluation is to benefit the
School District by assisting the Superintendent to adjust his/her management
techniques and behaviors as necessary to be most effective at completing the
responsibilities of the position; clarifying or determining the specific
Board/District goals and objectives to be priorities during the year; improving
the working relationships between the Board and the Superintendent specifically
and the administrative staff generally; identifying the priorities for the
Superintendent's allocation of his/her work time and resources from among the
various roles and expectations of the position.

A. |
The annual Superintendent
evaluation shall conclude in February/March of each year. The process shall
culminate in a single written document which may be of a checklist nature, a
narrative, or any combination thereof. The final evaluation statement shall be
approved by the Board or a committee of the Board as the Board may determine.
The entire evaluation process and documentation shall be conducted and handled
as confidentially as permitted by law in order to assure that the process can be
most effective for the stated purpose.

B. |
The specific evaluation
format shall be mutually determined by the Superintendent and Board no later
than October 30 of each year. The format determinations shall include
identification of any specific instruments (checklists or similar forms) to be
used, any specific priorities or objectives for the Superintendent's performance
or behaviors which will be evaluated particularly, and any specific
District/Board objectives expected to be accomplished and to be used for
evaluations of the Superintendent's effectiveness. The Board or the
Superintendent may request, or the Board and Superintendent may mutually
determine, that the format shall consist of either a single evaluation session
or more frequent sessions. In the event that no agreement can be reached on an
evaluation format and/or tool, the Board may use the instrument from a previous
year and/or obtain assistance from the State School Board Association or the
Board attorney.
|
| |
C. |
Negotiations and
determinations regarding contract provisions between the Board and
Superintendent shall be conducted independent of the Evaluation process itself;
recognizing, however, that the evaluation is a primary consideration for
determining the Board's contract with the Superintendent.
