The success of the educational system lies with those individuals who provide the direct services to students or provide supportive services to teachers and administrators. It is the desire of the Board of Education to maintain a staff of well trained, competent professionals in order to offer comprehensive services to the students of this District. Only those so evaluated will be retained by the Board.

If the services of an administrator are found on the basis of one or more prior evaluations to be unsatisfactory to the Board, s/he shall be notified by the Superintendent and given an opportunity to correct the deficiencies in his/her performance by March 1.

If his/her performance continues to be unsatisfactory, the administrator shall be notified in writing by the Superintendent, as approved by the Board, by March 31 of the year his/her contract expires that his/her services will not be renewed.

Before taking action to renew or not renew the contract of an administrator, s/he shall have received at least sixty (60) days prior to a complete evaluation in order to provide time to show progress in correcting any deficiencies identified; the Board shall notify each such employee of the date his/her contract expires, and that s/he may request a meeting with the Board. Upon request, the Board shall grant a meeting in executive session to discuss its reasons for renewal or nonrenewal.
