Superintendent Evaluation
Jesse Bacon
The Board approved the Superintendent's Evaluation Process at the August 22, 2022 Board meeting. Dr. Bacon completed the Formative Assessment Document which considers his own preliminary opinion on the 44 indicators that make up the 7 superintendent standards. Based on his self-evaluation, the Board's feedback on the survey, and the Summative Evaluation last year, submitted were two goals as part of the SPGES leadership plan - also known as a growth plan.
- Positive and Supportive Culture: Cultivate an inclusive, caring, and supportive school community that promotes the academic success and well-being of each student: As we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of work remains to ensure all students are provided with opportunities to be successful. Some strategies that I plan to implement are (a) continuing to be visible in schools, (b) further develop our Superintendent Advisory Teams (faculty, staff, student, and parent) to garner feedback and allow them to develop improvement priorities and PDSA action plans that district leadership can implement, and (3) create a more effective principal support and evaluation process that is founded on the principles of continuous improvement through principal perception and experience.
- Fiscal Responsible District Management: Focus on strategic allocation of resources and effective district operations: Though the district allocates resources effectively, with the current job market, inflationary costs of goods and services, and capital construction needs, we must ensure operations are systematically and consistently managed through planning, data analysis, systems audits, and stewardship of school district financial and human resources. As we continue to work through our Key Process Teams, the district budget must be driven by data collected on the needs, goals, and aspirations of our students.
Progress on these items was reviewed in executive session at the November and March regularly scheduled board meetings and through the weekly update. The Board will complete the SPGES Summative Evaluation for public release at the June 19th meeting.
The board reviewed the evidence of competency provided by the superintendent for the entire annual cycle. Individual members provided the Chair with input that was compiled into a single evaluation report. The Board gives the following ratings to the Superintendent:
Standard 1 (Strategic Leadership): _________ Standard 2 (Instructional Leadership): _____ Standard 3 (Cultural Leadership): _____ Standard 4 (Human Resource Leadership): _____ Standard 5 (Managerial Leadership): _____ Standard 6 (Collaborative Leadership): _____ Standard 7 (Influential Leadership): _____
Overall Rating: _____
