1.         Public Appearances

            There were no public appearances.

2.         Announcements

           There were no announcements.

3.        Report on the Evaluation of the Performance Evaluation Process for MMSD Administrative Staff Members

              (Packets included the PowerPoint presentation, the performance appraisal process document, goal agreement, appraisal report for central administrators and for principals, the appraisal flow chart, and certification forms.  Copies are attached to the original of these minutes.)

           Bob Nadler gave the presentation.  The Superintendent noted that the administrative evaluation process is not Board policy.  Administrators are different from teachers in that they do not automatically go through the steps and may receive no raise.  The appraisal looks at performance and the Management Performance Agreement (MPA) is project based.  School Improvement Plans (SIP) are available in the Board office.  Parents are encouraged to be part of the SIP process.  Plans for Administrative Goal Agreements would be done in the fall and evaluated in the spring.  Climate surveys would be part of the flow chart.  The specified goals are of mutual agreement but there may be cases where there is not agreement.  Goals can be skills based or knowledge based.  There was no intent to save money with the process and timing would be the same. 

Ruth Robarts arrived at 5:40 p.m.

           Discussion:  Typical movement through the steps.  Examples of MPA projects.  Board does not get information about people who are not meeting their goals unless there is a case for termination.  MPAs cannot be put on the web site.  Spring meeting would be a good time to tie into merit pay; effective the following July.  Merit pay is public knowledge and achieved after getting to step 10.  Detailed criteria is used to determine merit pay.  Number of goals are kept to two or three.  Kinds of results to be expected from the surveys as they are now. 

           It was moved by Johnny Winston, Jr. and seconded by Bill Clingan to recommend the proposal for a new Administrative Evaluation Process to the full Board.  Motion unanimously carried by those present.

           FOLLOW UPInclude all SIP plans on the web site, including progress and supporting summary data.  Another presentation will not be required for the full Board.

4.        Other Business

           No discussion.

5.        Adjournment

            It was moved by Johnny Winston, Jr. and seconded by Bill Clingan to adjourn the meeting at 5:52 p.m.  Motion unanimously carried by those present.
