The Board of Education recognizes the importance of regular and comprehensive evaluations of administrative and supervisory personnel to provide ongoing feedback for continuous improvement of employee performance. Evaluations shall be linked to the district's vision, strategic plan, school improvement goals, professional development plan, and goals for student achievement.

(cf. 0200 - Goals for the School District)
(cf. 0500 - Accountability)
(cf. 2140 - Evaluation of the Superintendent)
(cf. 4300 - Administrative and Supervisory Personnel)
Evaluations shall be used to recognize the exemplary skills and accomplishments of administrative and supervisory employees, serve as a criterion for contract renewals, and identify areas needing improvement. When the evaluation indicates areas needing improvement, the Board expects employees to take the initiative to improve their performance and for their supervisors to assist them in obtaining needed job skills.
(cf. 4331 - Staff Development)
The Superintendent or designee shall make written evaluation procedures available to all administrative and supervisory employees.
(cf. 4112.9 - Employee Notifications)
An employee shall be evaluated annually for the first and second years of employment as an administrator or supervisor in the district, and at least every two years thereafter. Evaluations may occur between scheduled periods at the request of the employee, his/her supervisor, or the Superintendent or designee.
The Superintendent or designee shall establish clear, objective criteria for evaluation based on the job responsibilities of each administrative or supervisory position.
The evaluation shall be dated and signed by the employee and evaluator. The employee may respond in writing to the evaluation within a reasonable time after receiving a copy of the evaluation. The response shall be attached to the evaluation and placed in the employee's personnel file.
