Formal evaluations shall be made at least once a year, but more often during the first two years in an administrative capacity.

They shall be conducted according to the following guidelines:

A. Evaluative criteria for each position shall be in written form and made permanently available to the administrator;

B. Evaluations shall be made by the Superintendent or immediate supervisor;

C. Results of the evaluations shall be put in writing and shall be discussed with the administrator;

D. The administrator being evaluated will have the right to attach a memorandum to the written evaluation; and

E. Results of all evaluations shall be kept in confidential personnel files maintained at the Superintendent’s office.

In accordance with Maine’s Educator Effectiveness law (20-A MRSA § 13701-13706), by the 2015-2016 school year, the school unit will develop, pilot and implement a performance evaluation and growth system consistent with the requirements of Department of Education Rule Chapter 180. This system, which will apply to the evaluation and growth of school principals, must be approved by the School Board.
