Board reviews director evaluation; members consider customizing TSBA instrument
Summary
The board reviewed a TSBA evaluation of the school director that produced an overall score of 3.87; members discussed limits of the generic instrument and asked staff about customizing the evaluation and adding or removing items to better reflect local expectations.
The board discussed the results of a director evaluation conducted using a Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) instrument. Board members received the evaluation in advance and were told the overall score was 3.87 out of the instrument's scale.
Members said some items were difficult to rate because board members are not present in day-to-day operations and that the TSBA instrument is a generic tool used across many districts. The board discussed the option of purchasing or requesting a personalized evaluation instrument tailored to Stewart County's needs; staff advised this would be possible but would incur additional cost.
One board member said they had discussed areas for improvement with the director and appreciated the director's willingness to pursue development. Board members asked whether items could be added or removed from the instrument to better reflect the board's view; staff said they could explore a customized instrument and provide options to the board.
No formal action to change the evaluation instrument was taken at the meeting; the discussion concluded with a direction to explore personalization and to consider follow-up questions and clarifications for future evaluations.
