WORK SESSION
a. Board Goals
i. Superintendent Evaluation Framework
Chairwoman Hill stated today’s work session is about a board goal regarding the
Superintendent Evaluation Framework, it has been about a year since the board visited with
Idaho School Board Association (ISBA) regarding a superintendent evaluation process. The
board did not give Superintendent Boland an evaluation this year for obvious reasons and the
board agreed they did not like his previous evaluation process and did not want to use ISBA’s
evaluation process. She requested the board discuss goals for the new superintendent, Dr.
James Shank.
Trustee Radcliffe shared a handout of the previous superintendent evaluation form, and an
example for setting and measuring goals. The board reviewed each item on the evaluation
form selecting items to keep and items to remove. Discussion included the superintendent
goals to correlate with board goals including High Reliability Schools, Community
Engagement/Outreach and Facilities. Discussion continued including goal milestones, school
HRS certifications, a newsletter, surveys, Facebook Live sessions, prioritizing facility needs,
levies and COVID19 Federal funds. The next steps will include Trustee Radcliffe emailing the
board clerk a revised superintendent evaluation form and superintendent goals to distribute
to trustees for review.
Chairwoman Hill called for a motion to adjourn. Trustee Haacke made a motion to adjourn. Trustee Radcliffe
provided the second. Motion carried 4 ayes, 0 nays. The meeting adjourned at 4:52 p.m.
