Board member provides refresher on superintendent evaluation as a governance tool
Summary
Board member Lisa Boyce led a short training highlighting best practices for superintendent evaluation: align metrics to the strategic plan, use objective evidence and ongoing formative feedback, and view evaluation as two-way accountability between board and superintendent.
Board member Lisa Boyce delivered a brief training for the board on superintendent evaluation, framing the process as a governance tool to align the board and superintendent around district priorities. Boyce told members she reviewed National School Boards Association resources and state guidance and encouraged evaluations that are goal-driven, evidence-based and include formative check-ins throughout the year rather than relying solely on annual impressions.
"The purpose of our superintendent evaluation isn't just to judge Wendy's performance," Boyce said, stressing that evaluations should support district outcomes and enable productive dialogue. She urged the board to tie evaluation measures to the district strategic plan, use measurable evidence when possible, and consider what support the superintendent needs from the board to meet shared goals.
