The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

What this document actually says
Last Updated: January 16, 2018
This policy establishes how the Board of Trustees evaluates the Superintendent's performance. The Board must conduct a formal annual evaluation to assess the Superintendent's leadership, support professional growth, and inform decisions about contract renewal and salary. The evaluation criteria are determined jointly by the Board and Superintendent, and may include district goals, leadership skills, and working relationships. Each Board member independently evaluates the Superintendent, then the Board creates one consensus document highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. The evaluation discussion occurs in a confidential closed session where the Superintendent can respond and ask questions. Both parties sign the final evaluation, which becomes part of the Superintendent's confidential personnel file. The process may also establish goals and professional development opportunities for the coming year.
What this means for your family
This policy doesn't directly affect individual students or families. However, it ensures the district superintendent—who oversees all schools and educational programs—is held accountable through regular performance reviews. A strong superintendent evaluation process helps maintain quality leadership, which ultimately impacts your child's educational experience, school resources, and how well the district meets its goals. The evaluation remains confidential personnel information.
