The Superintendent will conduct an ongoing process of evaluating administrators on their skills, abilities, and competence. At a minimum, the Superintendent will formally evaluate administrators annually. The goal of the formal evaluation process is to ensure that the educational program for the students is carried out, ensure the District’s student learning goals are met, promote growth in effective administrative leadership for the District, clarify the administrator's role as defined by the Board and the Superintendent, ascertain areas for improvement, clarify the immediate priorities of the responsibilities listed in the job description, and develop a working relationship between the Superintendent and the administrator.
The formal evaluation shall include written criteria related to the job description as well as Iowa Standards for School Leaders. The formal evaluation shall provide an opportunity for the administrator and the Superintendent to discuss the written criteria, the past year's performance, and the future areas for growth. The evaluation shall be completed by the Superintendent and the administrator, and filed in the administrator's personnel file.
The Superintendent shall conduct a formal evaluation of probationary administrators and nonprobationary administrators prior to May 15.
This policy supports and does not preclude the ongoing informal evaluation of the administrator's skills, abilities and competence.
