Superintendent evaluation

Selecting and evaluating the superintendent is one of the school board’s most important responsibilities.

 
A HIGH-QUALITY SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION:
  • helps develop good board/superintendent relationships
  • clarifies roles
  • identifies superintendent professional development opportunities
  • provides a mechanism for public accountability
  • provides input and feedback to the superintendent to guide continuous improvement

PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS ARE MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN THEY ARE DESIGNED AND USED FOR:
  • strengthening the board/superintendent relationship
  • reviewing past performance
  • communicating future expectations and goals
  • determining future professional development for the superintendent
  • making ongoing employment decisions (contract extension and compensation) 

OSBA and COSA have developed a five-part tool for evaluating superintendents.
