Superintendent outlines evaluation timeline tied to district's strategic improvement plan
Superintendent Monita Whitney presented the board with a yearlong timeline for the superintendent evaluation and for board progress monitoring that aligns evaluation measures with the district's strategic improvement plan and the board's approved annual objectives.

Whitney said the evaluation process is intended to be embedded in routine district reporting so that progress updates, State of the School reviews and Board Progress Monitoring Reports provide evidence for formative feedback and a summative evaluation in June. "The superintendent evaluation really becomes embedded in the progress monitoring of the district," Whitney said, adding that regular reports enable course corrections during the year rather than waiting until the annual summative review.

Key timeline points included the board's identification of focus goals in February, approval of annual objectives in August, Board Progress Monitoring Reports from September through January, a mid‑year performance check‑in in February, State of the School reviews from February through May and completion of the summative evaluation and goal setting by June. Whitney also said half of the State of the School reviews are presented in the boardroom and half are conducted at school sites and encouraged board members to use the presentations as evidence for the evaluation.

Whitney noted the district's five "outrageous outcomes" that anchor the strategic plan (including mastery of reading, success in algebra, graduation, connections and the district's equity goals) and said staff will align reports and measures to those objectives. The superintendent and staff offered to provide clickable links to supporting documents by email for board members who could not access the links during the meeting.

No formal board action was taken on the report; the presentation was informational and structured to guide later evaluation activities and board progress monitoring.
