Ad hoc committee outlines superintendent evaluation instrument and timeline
Summary
An ad hoc trustee committee presented a draft evaluation instrument for the superintendent that aligns with district strategic goals and state principal evaluation scoring. Trustees were briefed on the planned schedule for a state‑of‑district presentation and the evaluation process.
An ad hoc trustee committee reported Feb. 10 on development of a superintendent evaluation instrument designed to align with the district’s strategic plan, school renewal plans and measurable guardrails.
Trustee Carol Temple (ad hoc committee member) described the instrument’s structure: three focus areas—educational leadership, district management, and board and community relationships—each with indicators and scoring aligned to the state principal evaluation rubric. Committee members said they researched models from other districts and met with the superintendent for input.
Proposed process and timeline
- The superintendent will present a state‑of‑the‑district report after summative achievement data are available (committee estimated the next state‑of‑the‑district around Nov. 10, 2025).
- Trustees will individually score the adopted instrument, submit scores to an evaluation team, and meet in executive session to review aggregated scores and comments. Trustees, with counsel, will draft a unified evaluation report.
- The superintendent will have five business days to review the report prior to public release in open session. Quarterly updates will follow as part of continuous improvement.
Committee members said they reviewed a draft instrument in a Jan. 27 executive session and planned to finalize the instrument for public presentation after trustee feedback in February or March.
Why it matters: the evaluation instrument establishes the measures and timeline by which the board will assess superintendent performance and communicate expectations to the public.
Next steps: trustees will continue to review the instrument and seek adoption in an upcoming board meeting, with a public presentation of the process and the instrument once finalized.
