Board adopts new leader/educator evaluation plan and approves Title IX policy for first reading
Summary
The Regional School District 09 board voted unanimously to adopt the 2024–2025 leader and educator evaluation and support plan (recommended by the PEDAC committee) and approved a Title IX policy for first reading, moving it to a tri‑board second read with counsel to ensure compliance with federal regulations.
The board approved, by voice vote, a motion to adopt the district'9s 2024–2025 leader and educator evaluation and support plan as recommended by the PEDAC (professional evaluation) committee.
Board members characterized the new plan as focused on continuous professional learning, alignment to high‑impact instructional strategies and a streamlined observation/feedback process. The plan replaces the prior model with differentiated rubrics and emphasizes goal‑setting, timely feedback and tiered support. Administrators described two observations for non‑tenured staff (with pre/post conferences and quick feedback within five days) and one required observation for tenured staff, with calibration and documentation housed in an internal dashboard.
Separately, the board approved the policy committee'9s recommendation to accept for first reading a consolidated policy prohibiting sex discrimination and sex‑based harassment, updated to align with recent Title IX regulatory changes. The policy committee will meet to finalize edits and present a second reading at a joint tri‑board meeting with legal counsel to ensure conformity with federal guidance.
Votes: both motions were approved in voice votes recorded as unanimous.
