What this document actually says

This document outlines the process and timeline for evaluating the Superintendent's performance starting in 2025. The evaluation will be based on yearly shared goals developed from the district's Strategic Plan, with at least one goal per pillar. Key milestones include: Spring development of goals with staff input, May board discussion and approval, August public announcement, December mid-year check-in, and May-June final evaluation. The Superintendent submits self-assessments in December and May. Board members individually evaluate the Superintendent's performance, and the Board President compiles feedback into one consensus document. The process includes both public announcements and confidential closed sessions. Contract discussions may occur during June meetings as needed.

What this means for your family

This evaluation process helps ensure the Superintendent is meeting district goals that directly affect students. Because goals are based on the Strategic Plan and require staff input, families can expect leadership accountability on priorities like academic achievement, school climate, and district operations. Yearly goals will be announced publicly each August, giving families visibility into what the district is working toward for their children.
