  • Policy 111 - Establishment / Assessment of County Goals

    Adopted on October 9, 2018

    Effective October 9, 2018

    One of the major functions of the Board of Education is to work with the administration to establish written goals or objectives by which the County can accomplish its mission and to provide the resources necessary for their accomplishment. The goals or objectives shall be established before September 15th of each year. Some of these goals and objectives shall be a part of the Superintendent's evaluation. Because of the importance the Board places on accomplishing goals or objectives, it has established the following policy for effective assessment of the County's progress toward their realization.

    If the Board and the Superintendent are unable to agree on the goals and objectives to be used in the evaluation of the Superintendent, the parties will engage the West Virginia Schools Boards Association and/or the West Virginia Association of School Administrators to facilitate agreement.

    In conjunction with its annual evaluation of the Superintendent and its own performance, the Board shall also provide the time for both the Board and the administration to assess the progress of the school system, during a given period of time, toward the achievement of current goals or objectives. The Superintendent's evaluation, the progress-assessment of goals or objectives and the Board's self-assessment of its performance, shall take place at a time of the year when the following conditions are most favorable to assure this policy operates as intended but no later than June 30th, except that the assessment shall be made prior to March 1st if the Superintendent's contract is to expire on the ensuing June 30th.

    This annual process of assessing/evaluating the Board, the Superintendent, staff, programs, and resources shall not be considered finished until County School System goals/objectives and the strategies and actions being used to accomplish them have been reviewed and re-prioritized.
