Mississippi School Boards Association
Superintendent Evaluation Instrument
2014 Edition
Directions: Each board member receives the evaluation in advance of the board meeting and rates each standard by placing either an S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) in the box to the right of the indicators listed below the standard. At the board meeting the board discusses the evaluation and comes to agreement on an overall numerical rating on each standard based on the rating of satisfactory or unsatisfactory on each indicator. (Example: Standard 1 has 10 indicators. If the board determine that the superintendent had made satisfactory progress on 8 out of 10 of the indicators, the numerical rating would be 80%.)
Any indicator receiving a "U" necessitates (1) a written response from the board to he superintendent specifying the reason(s) for the unsatisfactory rating and (2) a corrective action a plan written by the superintendent and approved b the board specifying the action the superintendent will take in the future to correct the deficiency.
