It is the school’s goal to evaluate each employee in writing at least once each year. These evaluations are discussed in conferences between the HOS or supervisor and the employee. The employee will be asked to sign the evaluation—indicating it has been discussed—and can make a summary statement on each evaluation form regarding any disagreement or other pertinent comments. These evaluations and statements are filed in the employee’s personnel record and are kept confidential. Evaluations assist the HOS and supervisors as one form of information when determining professional development and growth plans, continued employment, staff changes, salary changes, dismissal, or similar personnel actions.
Supplemental evaluations of an employee may also be conducted any time that the HOS or supervisor becomes aware of a weakness or problem in the employee’s performance, at the HOS’s discretion. Depending on the seriousness of the issues involved, the corrective action process may be initiated (see Corrective Action Policy for details) or other appropriate action may occur to resolve the issue.
