411.7 Classified Employee Evaluation

At least one evaluation will be performed on each new probationary employee by the end of the employee’s first year of employment. Thereafter, a permanent employee will be evaluated at least once every three years. Evaluations may be conducted by either an administrator or the employee’s immediate supervisor. However, all evaluations will be approved and signed off by an administrator or his/her designee prior to filing. 13

Evaluations will be discussed between the employer and the employee within one (1) month of the date of the evaluation and employees will be given the opportunity to write comments to the evaluation prior to the employee’s signing the evaluation document. Employees shall receive a copy of the evaluation after signing.

Request For Second Evaluation.

If a licensed staff member does not agree with the evaluator’s performance review, he/she may request an evaluation of his/her work by another licensed evaluator. If agreement cannot be reached by said parties, the superintendent shall appoint the evaluator for the evaluation. If the staff member objects with the second evaluator, the reasons shall be reduced to writing and attached to the evaluation form.

Appeal Process.

Upon receipt of a performance evaluation, the licensed teacher has the right to grieve the evaluation based on procedural errors.

Professional Courtesy.

When possible, all criticism shall be made in a manner so as to reduce or avoid professional embarrassment.

Personnel File Review.

Each licensed staff member shall have the right to the contents of his/her personnel file for purposes of review. The employee has the option of replying to any documents with the response to be attached to that document. Legally confidential documents may be removed from the file by the administrator prior to the review. The staff member shall make arrangements with the administrator concerned for the review and a representative of the Association may accompany in this review if requested by the employee.

Any complaints directed toward the employee which are placed in the Employee’s file are to be immediately called to the attention of that person and a copy thereof given to that person, and that person shall be afforded an opportunity to respond in writing for inclusion in the personnel file.
