Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
6.1. Beginning
				January 1, 2020, local board agendas and minutes shall be made public on the
				county webpage. Beginning September 1, 2024, video and/or audio of local board
				meetings shall be live-streamed and recorded and posted to the county board's
				webpage within five business days of the meeting. Directions for accessing the
				live stream will be made available to the public via the county webpage and
				local board agendas. Additionally, a minimum of once per month, in
				collaboration with county superintendents, county agendas shall include
				discussion addressing one or more of the following: school performance, student
				outcomes, or academics with local school board goals and actions to improve
				student achievement and well-being. If any county indicator is identified as
				Support or Intensive Support under the WVAS, the county leadership team shall
				present plans and progress for correcting deficits in the West Virginia
				Balanced Scorecard Indicators of Academic Achievement and Student Success, and
				County Operational Effectiveness Indicators of Efficiency.
6.1.a. At a minimum, CBEM shall annually
				assess their performance using statutorily-required CBEM performance appraisal,
				approved by the WVBE. This appraisal shall focus on collaborating with various
				constituency groups and the general public, implementing the strategies
				necessary to monitor and improve student achievement on a continuing basis, and
				effective policy governance. At the conclusion of the evaluation, the CBEM
				shall make available to the public a summary of the evaluation, including areas
				in which the CBEM concludes improvement is warranted. The summary of the
				evaluation shall be posted on the county's web page and remain posted until the
				following year's evaluation is completed.
6.1.a.1. The statutorily-required CBEM
				performance appraisal shall include review of school and county performance,
				student outcomes, county and school level leadership, and attainment of CBEM
				goals. Prior to developing CBEM goals, the CBEM shall review the county
				strategic plan and ensure CBEM goals support and amplify the county strategic
				plan goals to improve student achievement and assure student well-being. The
				appraisal shall serve as a preeminent prompt for specific CBEM training as
				deemed necessary by the WVBE. Specific training shall be designed to establish
				greater CBEM capacity and ensure CBEM accountability to advance student
				achievement. The WVBE's decision shall be based on a number of criteria
				including, but not limited to, recommendations of the West Virginia School
				Board Association (WVSBA), findings from the WVAS, and/or specific reports the
				WVBE may receive as prepared by WVDE staff.
6.1.a.2. The WVBE, in consultation with the
				TSRC, may determine the CBEM shall receive concentrated training to develop the
				CBEM's corporate capacity to address issues identified through review of the
				West Virginia Balanced Scorecard and County Operation Effectiveness Indicators
				of Efficiency. Additionally, the WVBE may address CBEM identified needs for
				specific services or resources which the CBEM lacks. Directed efforts will
				align CBEM goals with WVBE goals and actions, including development of
				effective CBEM/county superintendent leadership which promotes expected norms
				or roles for the CBEM and county superintendent.
6.1.a.3. If the WVBE requires a CBEM to
				receive concentrated training, such training shall be provided by the WVSBA in
				consultation with agencies or entities the WVSBA may determine. The WVBE shall
				be apprised of progress made in terms of the training or in terms of
				establishing the CBEM's capacity to address issues identified which prompted
				the WVBE to require the CBEM to receive additional training.
