The Governing Board shall evaluate the Superintendent at least once each year.
Evaluations are confidential.
The Superintendent shall provide each member of the Board a copy of the evaluation instrument not later than November 15. The Board President shall schedule a meeting not later than December 15, when the Board will devote an executive session to the evaluation of the Superintendent's performance, to discuss working relationships between the Superintendent and the Board, and to review the Superintendent's contract, with the Superintendent present. Any meetings of the Board to compile evaluations, or meetings to discuss the evaluations with the Superintendent, shall be held in executive session unless the Superintendent requests that any such meeting be held in open session. Upon conclusion of the evaluation, the Governing Board may determine whether any changes in the compensation and benefits of the Superintendent for the next fiscal year are warranted. On or before May 15 the Board shall offer a contract for the next school year to the Superintendent, if the administrative contract is in its last year, unless on or before April 15 the Board gives notice to the Superintendent of the Board's intention not to offer a new administrative contract.
