1330 - TREASURER PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The performance of the Treasurer will be monitored systematically against the Board of Education's Global Expectations for the Treasurer and the annual performance goals developed in conjunction with the Board's procedures for the performance evaluation of the Treasurer.
Annual Performance Goals
The Board shall, on an annual basis, engage in dialogue with the Treasurer to identify the Treasurer's annual performance goals. The performance goals will identify specific matters on which the Treasurer is expected to demonstrate reasonable progress toward organizational accomplishment within the boundaries established by the Board's Global Expectations.
Performance Monitoring
The Board, as in its discretion it judges appropriate, may periodically monitor the Treasurer's performance throughout the evaluation year. Monitoring shall:
| A. | determine the degree to which the Board's Global Expectations and the Treasurer's annual performance goals are being met; and | |
| B. | provide the opportunity for dialogue between the Board and the Treasurer on performance-related matters. |
The Board may acquire monitoring data by one (1) or more of three (3) methods:
| A. | by Treasurer report, in which the Treasurer reports information and documents performance-related matters to the Board; | |
| B. | by external verification, in which an external, disinterested third party selected by the Board assesses performance and compliance with Board polices; or | |
| C. | by direct Board evaluation, in which the Board assesses performance and compliance with the Board's policies. |
The Board may monitor performance at any time, by any of the three (3) methods cited above.
Annual Performance Evaluation
The Board will conduct a formal summative evaluation of the Treasurer. The summative evaluation will utilize information collected during the year from performance monitoring.
As part of the evaluation, the Board and Treasurer will engage in dialogue on the Treasurer's performance towards the annual performance goals and the Board's Global Expectations for the Treasurer.
The Board will prepare a written evaluation document, consisting of:
| A. | the Board's consensus conclusion on whether or not each annual performance goal has been achieved or reasonable progress has been made towards its achievement; | |
| B. | the Board's consensus conclusions whether or not each Global Expectation has been achieved or reasonable progress has been made towards its achievement; and | |
| C. | the Board's consensus comments regarding the Treasurer's performance during the year. |
The Board will make the final determination as to whether or not any performance goal or Global Expectation has been achieved or reasonable progress has been made. In doing so, the Board will apply a "reasonable person" standard.
Development of Evaluation Procedures
The Board shall develop procedures to carry out this policy. The evaluation procedures may be amended at any time as determined by the Board.
The Board will periodically monitor and discuss the evaluation procedures. Self monitoring will include comparison of the Board's activity and procedures with the principles set forth in the Board's policies.
The establishment of an evaluation procedure shall not create the expectation of continued employment. The Board shall be responsible for any final determination regarding the Treasurer's employment.
