EVALUATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF

The Superintendent shall implement and supervise an evaluation system for all RSU #74 administrative personnel. A report shall be made to the RSU #74 Board annually on the performance of all administrators, with recommendations regarding their employment and/or salary status.

Formal evaluations shall be made at least once a year, but more often during the first two (2) years in an administrative capacity.  They shall be conducted according to the following guidelines:

A.)  Evaluative criteria for each position shall be in written form and made permanently available to the administrator;

B.)   Evaluations shall be made by the Superintendent;

C.)   Results of the evaluations shall be put in writing and shall be discussed with the administrator;

D.)  The administrator being evaluated will have the right to attach a memorandum to the written evaluation; and

E.)   Results of all evaluations shall be kept in confidential personnel files maintained at the Superintendent’s office.

In accordance with Maine’s Educator Effectiveness law (20-A MRSA § 13701-13706), by the end of the  2016-2017 school year, RSU #74 will have developed and piloted a performance evaluation and growth system (PEPG), consistent with the requirements of  law and applicable Department of Education rules, for full implementation in the 2017-2018 school year. 

This system, which will apply to the evaluation and growth of school principals, must be approved by the

RSU #74 Board.
