The Board of Education is responsible for the employment and discharge of all personnel. To carry out this
responsibility, it delegates to the Superintendent the function of establishing and implementing a program of
personnel assessment.
It is the purpose of the program of staff assessment to:
A. Strive for the improvement of the total District program;
B. Stress the importance of personal improvement on the part of individual staff members so that each student
may be provided a quality education;
C. Ensure the continuous improvement of administrative and supervisory services provided staff members;
D. Establish a process of continuous and systematic staff member evaluation.
The staff evaluation program shall aim at the early identification of specific areas in which the individual staff
member needs help so that appropriate assistance may be provided or arranged for. A supervisor offering
suggestions for improvement to a staff member shall not release that staff member from the responsibility to
improve. If a staff member, after receiving a reasonable degree of assistance, fails to perform his/her assigned
responsibilities in a satisfactory manner, disciplinary action, dismissal, or non-renewal procedures may be invoked.
In such an instance, all relevant evaluation documents may be used in the proceedings.
Evaluations shall be conducted annually of each employee consistent with the terms of any individual contract,
applicable State statutes, and the Superintendent's guidelines. A staff member shall be given a copy of any
documents relating to his/her performance which are to be placed in the personnel file.
This policy shall not deprive a staff member of any rights provided by contractual agreement or State law.
