Evaluation of Administrative Staff

Each administrator shall be evaluated annually in order to provide guidance and direction to the administrator in

the performance of his/her assignment. Such evaluation shall be based on the job description, accomplishment of

annual goals and performance objectives, and established evaluative criteria.

The Superintendent shall establish procedures for the conduct of these evaluations. Near the beginning of the

school year, the Superintendent shall inform the administrator of the criteria to be used for evaluation purposes,

including the adopted goals for the District. Such criteria shall include performance statements dealing with

leadership; administration and management; school financing; professional preparation; effort toward

improvement; interest in students, staff, citizens and programs; and staff evaluation.

At least thirty-three percent (33%) of the annual review of administrators will be based on multiple objective

measures of growth in student achievement as determined by the board of trustees and based on research. Parent

or guardian input may also be a factor in the evaluation of any principal or other school-based administrative

employee.

The Board has selected the following as the District’s measures of growth in student achievement for evaluating

for the student achievement portion of the formal evaluation. Building administrator student achievement

evaluation portion will be determined by the percentage of teachers meeting proficiency. The administrator

ranking will be determined as follows:

95%-100% Teachers Proficient – Distinguished

70%-84% Teachers Proficient – Proficient
