Through an annual evaluation of the superintendent,1 the Board will strive to accomplish the following:
Clarify the role of the superintendent according to a job description as agreed upon by the Board and the superintendent;
Develop harmonious working relationships between the Board and the superintendent; and
Develop improvements in the administrative leadership of the school system.
The Board will develop, with the superintendent, a set of performance objectives based on the needs of the system. The performance of the superintendent will be reviewed in accordance with these specified goals.
At the time agreed to by the Board and the superintendent, the Board will meet as a body to evaluate the superintendent's performance.
The following guidelines will be used in the evaluation process:
The superintendent will know the standards upon which he/she will be evaluated and will be involved in the development of those standards.
The evaluation will be a composite of the evaluation by individual board members, but the Board, as a whole, will meet with the superintendent to discuss the composite evaluation.
The evaluation shall include a discussion of strengths as well as weaknesses.
Both the Board and superintendent will prepare for the evaluation; the superintendent will conduct a self-evaluation and board members will document the evidence used in rating the superintendent's performance.
All documentation will be supported by objective evidences.
