EVALUATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS

The evaluation of the instructional program shall be a major responsibility of the superintendent and his/her staff with periodic reports being presented to the School Committee to enable them to make judgments on the success of the program. No instructional program should be considered as the final answer, and all school programs shall be under continuous study by the staff. It should be borne in mind that instruction is the primary responsibility of the schools, and all other activities are merely subsidiary. This being the case, the evaluation of the instructional program shall be done with great care and the School Committee kept informed at all times.

Moreover, the superintendent is expected to lead the staff, community and School Committee in the development and on-going review of School Committee adopted criteria and standards by which to measure the results of the educational process.
