Superintendent Goals

List at least two, but we suggest no more than three, significant individual superintendent goals. These goals should be directly linked to district goals which are clearly aimed at improving student learning and the climate for student learning.

These goals should be approved by the board in consultation with the superintendent. The measurable progress indicators, or evidence the board can expect to see over the next year of progress toward the goals, should be suggested by the superintendent in consultation with the board and approved by the board. The measurable progress indicators should be clear and understood by both board and superintendent.

This document will be part of the superintendent’s ongoing evaluation throughout the year as well as included as part of the overall, year-end evaluation.

End of Year Review of Goal Attainment

Yearend review will require the board to provide supporting evidence for its goal attainment ranking. Ongoing discussion of goal attainment, throughout the year, will assist board in providing this data.
