303.4 ASSISTANTS TO THE PRINCIPALS - EVALUATION

The Superintendent shall conduct an ongoing process of evaluating the assistants to the Principals on their skills, abilities, and competence. Annually, the Superintendent will formally evaluate the assistants to the Principals. The goal of the formal evaluation process is to ensure the education program for the students is carried out, promote growth in effective administrative leadership for the District, clarify the assistant building Principal's role as the Board and the Superintendent see it, ascertain areas in need of improvement, clarify the immediate priorities of the responsibilities listed in the job description, and develop a working relationship between the Superintendent and the Principal.

The formal evaluation shall include written criteria related to the job description. The Superintendent, after receiving input from the building Principals, shall present the formal evaluation instrument to the Board for approval.

The formal evaluation shall also include an opportunity for the assistant building principal and the Superintendent to discuss the written criteria, the past year's performance and the future areas of growth. The evaluation shall be completed by the Superintendent, signed by the assistant building Principal and filed in the assistant building Principal's personnel file.

It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent to conduct formal evaluation of the probationary assistant building Principals and non‑probationary assistant building Principals prior to May 15 at a time mutually agreeable to the assistant building Principals and the Superintendent.

This policy supports and does not preclude the ongoing informal evaluation of the assistant Principal's skills, abilities and competence.
