Evaluation Of The Superintendent Of Schools

  1. The Board will evaluate the performance of the Superintendent as a regular and scheduled activity.  The purpose of this evaluation process is to: 

    • Promote professional excellence  

    • Identify areas of job performance  

    • Assess the Superintendent’s level of achievement in those areas  

    • Provide a basis for improvement in the performance of duties and responsibilities 

    • Establish a context within which to make effective personnel decisions  

  1. Process 

    • The Superintendent of schools shall be evaluated annually by the Board of Education. The  evaluation shall be based on the Superintendent’s effectiveness in carrying out the responsibilities  delineated in his/her job description and on the progress made in achieving the goals cooperatively  developed with the Board of Education. 

    • Evaluation of the Superintendent should be at a scheduled meeting of the Board of Education in  executive session. The evaluation should be a composite of the individual Board member’s  opinions.  

    • Both parties should prepare for the evaluation—the Superintendent by conducting a self-evaluation,  and the Board of Education by examining various sources of information relating to the  Superintendent’s performance. The Board’s evaluation should be supported by specific examples of  the Superintendent’s conduct/performance, and should represent the perspective of the majority of  the Board.  

    • After a discussion with the Superintendent and completion of the evaluation process, the Board  Chair shall prepare a final written evaluation of the Superintendent’s performance for the previous  school year. A copy of this summary report shall be signed by the Board Chair on behalf of the  Board. Signed copies of the form shall be distributed as follows:

      1. Copy placed in the Superintendent’s personnel file  

      2. Copy given to the Superintendent  

  1. Mid-Year Assessment: 

At the request of the Superintendent or the Board of Education, a mid-year assessment may take  place. An executive session will be called by the Chair.  

  1. Areas of Evaluation:
