Superintendent Performance Evaluation - 6122

Philosophy:  The Board of Directors has the following basic beliefs about the evaluation process:

The Board believes the Superintendent has the responsibility to provide the level of leadership that will ensure the maximum educational opportunity for children by constantly striving to improve the quality of instruction and staff performance.  The Board believes the Superintendent has the responsibility to administer the FederalWaySchool District in a cost efficient, productive, safe, and harmonious manner that reflects the policies established by the Board and the general attitudes and needs of the community.

The Board believes the process of evaluating the Superintendent’s performance assures the Board that good leadership and management is being provided.  The Board and the Superintendent believe the intentional effort to improve communications, assess strengths and weaknesses, suggest goals for improvement and recognize quality performance inherent in the Superintendent evaluation process should serve as a model for the entire district staff.
