The Board will meet the Superintendent in executive session at which time the Superintendent will share his annual self-evaluation and a summary of the survey results (and the Board can share its preliminary feelings and concerns with the Superintendent.) After receiving the Superintendent' self-evaluation and a summary of the survey results each board member will complete an evaluation of the Superintendent. Each board member's individual evaluation of the Superintendent will be shared with all members of the Board and with the Superintendent. The Board President will receive the individual evaluations and tabulate the results, and then the Board will meet in executive session to arrive at consensus on each area. The Board President will then meet with the Superintendent to present the consensus evaluation. Finally the Board and the Superintendent can meet in executive session to discuss the evaluation and the process.
