5.2.2. Policy 303.06 Administrator Evaluation (Third Reading)
Speaker(s):
Pat Nauroth
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Rationale:
The following is from a legal update from the Harding and Shultz Law Firm concerning evaluation of probationary employees. All probationary employees must be evaluated during the first semester of the 2011-12 school year. You also must schedule a post conference for each probationary teacher’s evaluation prior to the beginning of second semester so that there is no confusion about whether the evaluation truly occurred during first semester. See Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-828(2). The evaluation statute applies to probationary teachers and probationary administrators, such as principals and athletic directors. The failure to evaluate probationary certificated employees in the manner required by statute can result in a loss of the school district's ability to nonrenew a poorly-performing employee.
