Effective school boards consider superintendent evaluation to be identical to school system evaluation. For this reason, 100% of superintendent evaluation is based on progress relative to the Goals and Guardrails. The Board’s annual evaluation of the superintendent then becomes a summary of results reported throughout the year through progress monitoring. The annual evaluation allows the board to summarize its judgment of the Superintendent’s performance based on the objective evidence given through the monitoring report data provided throughout the previous year. The Board has the opportunity to discuss performance highs and lows and make a measured determination as to whether the current Superintendent remains adequate. The Board will also be able to deal with any adjustments to contract and compensation accordingly at this time.
