1330 - EVALUATION OF THE TREASURER
The Board of Education requires evaluation of the performance of the Treasurer in order to assist both the Board and the Treasurer in the proper discharge of their responsibilities and to enable the Board to provide the District with the best possible leadership. The Board, in establishing procedures for a formal performance evaluation of the Treasurer and conducting the evaluation in accordance with those procedures, shall consider the evaluation(s) in deciding whether to renew the Treasurer's employment contract. However, the establishment of the evaluation procedure shall not create an expectation of continued employment. The Board is responsible for the final determination regarding the Treasurer's employment contract.
The objectives of the Board's evaluation shall be to:
| A. | promote professional excellence and improve the skills of the Treasurer; | |
| B. | improve the quality of District educational services; | |
| C. | provide a basis for the review of the Treasurer’s performance. |
Criteria for the evaluation of the Treasurer shall be based upon the job description and shall relate directly to each of the tasks described therein. Each criterion shall be specific and shall focus on a major function of the position, be based on observable information rather than on factors requiring subjective judgment, and be written in the same format.
Data for the evaluation of the Treasurer includes, but is not limited to, any one (1) or more of the following methods:
| A. | direct observation; | |
| B. | review of a document(s) produced in the performance of assigned duties; | |
| C. | interviews with the Treasurer regarding his/her knowledge of assigned duties; | |
| D. | reference to previous performance reports; | |
| E. | such District financial reports and indicators which provide an assessment of the Treasurer’s ability and performance; | |
| D. | any other relevant financial data, products, or professional attributes. |
The Board shall annually evaluate the performance of the Treasurer. Such evaluation shall include an assessment of the:
| A. | progress toward the established goals of the District; | |
| B. | working relationship between the Board and the Treasurer; | |
| C. | working relationship between the Superintendent and the Treasurer; | |
| D. | Treasurer’s ability to share accounts data with the public. |
Such assessments will be based on defined quality expectations developed by the Board for each criteria being assessed.
The Board and the Treasurer, jointly, shall, at the outset of each evaluation, determine the method by which the evaluation shall be conducted. The Board shall adopt and follow a formal evaluation procedure for the Treasurer.
As an outcome of the evaluation of the Treasurer's performance, the Board should be prepared to judge the advisability of retention of the Treasurer and be prepared to:
| A. | determine the Treasurer’s salary; | |
| B. | identify strengths and weaknesses in his/her operation and determine means by which weaknesses can be reduced and strengths are maintained. |
