Procedure
At least once each fiscal year, the Board of Education and Superintendent shall meet in executive session for the purpose of mutual evaluation of the performance of the Superintendent. The basis for this evaluation shall be, but not be limited to, the Board adopted job description for the position of Superintendent of Schools. In the event that the Board determines that the performance of the Superintendent is unsatisfactory in any respect, it shall describe in writing, in reasonable detail, specific instances of unsatisfactory performances. The evaluation shall include recommendations as to areas of improvement in all instances where the Board deems performance to be unsatisfactory. A copy of the written evaluation shall be made available to the Superintendent. The Superintendent shall have the right to make a written reaction or response to the evaluation. This response shall become a permanent attachment to the Superintendent’s evaluation. Upon the request of the Superintendent, the Board shall meet with him/her to discuss the evaluation within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the written evaluation to the Superintendent.
The annual evaluations shall be considered by the Board of Education in deciding whether to renew the Superintendent’s contract; however, the establishment of this evaluation procedure does not create an expectancy of continued employment. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Education from making the final determination regarding the renewal or nonrenewal of the Superintendent’s contract.
