Agenda Item Summary: The Superintendent Evaluation Criteria Development Committee initially met on May 29, 2019 to develop a work plan for evaluating and updating the Superintendent evaluation instrument. Having obtained School Board and staff feedback on the Superintendent Evaluation Criteria document, the committee has created a rubric in order to determine the rating of each performance standard in the superintendent’s evaluation. The Board will use this document to evaluate Dr. Hutchings by December 19, 2019.
Background: The current Superintendent’s Evaluation Instrument was last adopted by the School Board in June 2016. The current Board has determined that it will revisit and develop updated performance criteria for the Superintendent’s evaluation. On April 23, 2019, in accordance with Policy BCE, the School Board voted to appoint Board Members Veronica Nolan, Meagan L. Alderton, and Christopher A. Suarez to the Superintendent Evaluation Criteria Development Committee to accomplish this.

In accordance with Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) Policy CBG-1, local school boards must evaluate the Division Superintendent annually. The Alexandria City School Board has elected to use the Guide for Uniform Performance Standards and Evaluation Criteria for Superintendents, created by the VDOE which allows local school boards to adopt the evaluation system “as is” or make adjustments tailored to a specific school division’s needs.
Recommendation: The Superintendent Evaluation Criteria Development Committee recommends that the School Board adopt the Superintendent Evaluation Procedures document.
