EVALUATION  OF  SUPERINTENDENT

The Governing Board shall evaluate the Superintendent at least once each year.

The evaluation(s) shall relate to the Superintendent's duties, responsibilities, and progress toward established goals.  The evaluation process for the Superintendent will include the following components: goals, performance standards, and 360-survey feedback.

The Board President shall schedule a meeting not later than December 18, when the Board will devote an executive session to the evaluation of the Superintendent’s performance, to discuss working relationships between the Superintendent and the Board, and to review the Superintendent’s contract. Additional evaluations may be completed by the Board at the Board's discretion, upon invitation by the Superintendent or as noted in the Superintendent's contract.

Any meetings of the Board to compile evaluations, or meetings to discuss the evaluation of the Superintendent shall be held in executive session unless the Superintendent requests that any such meeting be held in open session.  Board members shall have the opportunity to discuss with the Superintendent any item(s) on which the Board fails to reach consensus.

A copy of a written evaluation, if one is prepared, shall be given to the Superintendent.  If in disagreement with such evaluation, the Superintendent may respond in writing within ten (10) working days to the Governing Board.

Upon the conclusion of the evaluation process, the Governing Board may determine whether any changes in the compensation and benefits or contract terms of the Superintendent are warranted, subject to the following:

If the Superintendent's contract with the School District is for multiple years, the School District shall not offer to extend or renegotiate the contract until no earlier than fifteen (15) months before the expiration of the contract. The Board shall offer a contract for the next school year to the Superintendent unless, in accordance with the timelines noted in the Superintendent’s contract but in no event any later than April 15 of the last year of the Superintendent’s contract, the Board gives notice to the Superintendent of the Board's intention not to offer a new administrative contract.

If the Superintendent's contract with the School District is for a single year, on or before May 15 of each year the Board shall offer a contract for the next school year to the Superintendent unless on or before April 15 the Board gives notice to the Superintendent of the Board's intention not to offer a new administrative contract.

The evaluation, if one is prepared, and any comments by the Superintendent, shall become a part of the Superintendent's personnel file.
