3220 - STAFF EVALUATION
The School Board through the powers derived from the General School Laws, 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 Corporation program; | |
| B. | stress the importance of personal improvement on the part of individual professional staff members so that each student may be provided a quality education; | |
| C. | ensure the continuous improvement of administrative and supervisory services provided professional staff members; | |
| D. | establish a process of continuous and systematic professional staff member evaluation. |
The staff evaluation program shall aim at the early identification of specific areas in which the individual professional staff member needs help so that appropriate staff members can provide the type of assistance needed. A supervisor offering suggestions for improvement to a professional staff member shall not release that professional staff member from the responsibility to improve. If a professional staff member after receiving a reasonable degree of assistance fails to perform his/her assigned responsibilities in a satisfactory manner, dismissal procedures may be invoked in accordance with provisions of statute and the negotiated agreement.
In such an instance, all relative evaluation documents may be used in the proceedings. Results from State-mandated testing and assessments shall not be used in any teacher evaluation.
Evaluations shall be conducted of each professional staff member. Each professional staff member shall be given a copy of any documents relating to his/her performance which is placed in his/her personnel file. S/He shall be given the opportunity to append a written statement of his/her viewpoint to any evaluation to which s/he dissents and which is to be placed in his/her file.
This policy shall not deprive a professional staff member of any rights provided by contractual agreement or State law.
