The Board of Education, in compliance with state law, shall evaluate the Superintendent at least
annually.
The purpose of the evaluation shall be:
- To promote professional excellence and improve the skills of the Superintendent;
- To improve the quality of the education received by the pupils served by the public schools of
the district;
- To provide a basis for the review of the job performance of the Superintendent.
The role and responsibility of the Board in this evaluation shall be:
- To review, revise and adopt procedures suggested by the Superintendent for
implementation of this policy;
- To determine whether the services of a qualified consultant will contribute substantially to
the evaluation process, and to engage such a consultant if the Board deems it desirable;
- To adopt an individual plan for professional growth and development of the
Superintendent based in part upon any needs identified in the evaluation. This plan shall
reflect contributions by both the Board and the Superintendent;
- To hold an annual summary conference between a majority of the full membership of the
Board and the Superintendent. This conference shall include a review of the
Superintendent's performance in terms of his/her job description;
- To adopt, by June 1, subsequent to the annual summary conference, an annual written
performance report, approved by a majority of the full membership of the Board.
This report shall include:
- Performance areas of strength;
- Performance areas needing improvement based upon the job description and evaluation
criteria set forth below;
- Recommendations for professional growth and development;
- A summary of available indicators of pupil progress and growth and a statement of how
these available indicators relate to the effectiveness of the overall program and the
performance of the chief school administrator;
- Provision for performance data which have not been included in the report prepared by
the Board of Education to be entered into the record by the chief school administrator
within 10 working days after the completion of the report.
The role and responsibility of the Superintendent shall be to provide information and propose
procedures for:
- Development of a job description and evaluation criteria, based upon the district's local
goals, program objectives, policies, instructional priorities, state goals, statutory
requirements, and the functions, duties and responsibilities of the Superintendent. The
evaluation shall also be based on the Superintendent's individual goals, which must be
established before the start of school in September. The evaluation criteria shall include
but not be limited to available indicators of pupil progress;
- Specification of methods of data collection and reporting which shall be appropriate to the
job description and the specifics identified in "A" above;
- The design of an evaluation instrument suited to reviewing the Superintendent's
performance based upon the job description and the specifics identified in "A" above;
- Scheduling the required annual conference at an appropriate time, and with appropriate
information available to allow proper consideration of all the items to be included in the
subsequent written performance report;
After the Board's adoption/completion of the annual written performance report but prior to its
adoption, the Superintendent shall provide all other appropriate information relative to evaluation
of his/her performance not already contained in the report.
The final performance report shall be delivered to the Superintendent upon adoption.
Amendments to this performance report shall be distributed within 10 working days after
adoption.
Every newly appointed or elected Board member shall complete the New Jersey School Boards
Association's training program on evaluation of superintendents within six months of commencement of his/her term of office.
