Evaluation of support personnel on their skills, abilities, and competence shall be an ongoing process supervised by the building principals and conducted by approved evaluators. The goal of the formal evaluation of support personnel shall be to maintain support personnel who meet or exceed the board’s standards of performance, to clarify each support employee’s role, to ascertain the areas in need of improvement, to clarify the immediate priorities of the board, and to develop a working relationship between the administrators and other school district personnel.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent/designee to ensure support personnel are formally evaluated once per year. New and probationary support personnel shall be formally evaluated twice a year.
