An evaluation of Association’s members must be completed no later than April 30 of each school year. A consistent evaluation form will be used throughout the district for all Association members.  All Association members will be given a copy of the evaluation plan within the first 10 work days of the school year.  Each building principal or building principal designee (APs/evaluators) will review the evaluation document with each Association member within the first thirty (30) days of the school year so that expectations for performance are communicated.  Employees will receive a copy of their completed evaluation at the beginning of their evaluation conference. If the evaluation is not completed by April 30 of each year, the evaluation should indicate proficient.

All employees in years 1-10 will be evaluated every year. All employees in years 11 and beyond will be evaluated every other year. Any employee in year 11 and beyond whose performance yields Needs Improvement or is Unsatisfactory due to observed or reported performance deficiencies will receive a full evaluation. The evaluation will begin at least thirty (30) days after the evaluator has communicated the area of improvement verbally and in writing to the BASS Member. 

If the evaluator determines that there are issues or potential issues with an Association member’s job performance it should be brought to the attention of the Association member immediately. After the issue(s) have been brought to the attention of the Association member, the evaluator should give the member at least thirty (30) days to correct the issue(s) prior to completing an evaluation.  This will ensure that the Association member is aware of any deficiencies in job performance and allow sufficient time to correct the deficiencies prior to completing an evaluation. 

Any Association member who receives a one (1) in any category will be placed on a remediation plan to address the area(s) of deficiency within five (5) work days of the evaluation. The remediation process will last for a period of thirty (30) days.  At the end of the thirty (30) day remediation period, the evaluator will complete a 2nd evaluation within five (5) work days of the 30th day of the remediation period. If the rating has not improved and the Association member is still rated a one (1) in any of the area(s) of deficiency addressed in the remediation plan, the Association member’s summative rating remains Unsatisfactory and they will be recommended for termination.

Any Association member who receives an overall Summative Rating of Needs Improvement (two (2) or more areas Needs Improvement) will be placed on a remediation plan to address the area(s) of deficiency within five (5) work days of the evaluation. The remediation process will last for a period of thirty (30) days. At the end of the thirty (30) day remediation period, the evaluator will complete a 2nd evaluation within five (5) work days of the 30th day of the remediation period.  If the rating has not improved and the staff  member is still rated  an overall Needs Improvement they will be considered for and could be recommended for termination. If deemed appropriate by the evaluator, the remediation period can be extended for an additional fifteen (15) days at which point a 3rd evaluation would be completed within five (5) work days of the 15th day of the remediation period.  If the Association member is still rated a two (2) in any of the area(s) of deficiency addressed in the remediation plan and the Association member’s summative rating remains Needs Improvement then they will be recommended for termination.

Designated school holidays as outlined in the Association agreement are excluded from the remediation plan and remediation period timelines. Regular weekend days (Saturday and Sunday) are included in the remediation plan and remediation timelines.
