The Board of Education directs the superintendent to implement appropriate methods for a continual
evaluation of the curriculum, the educational programs and the instructional processes of the school
district.
These evaluations will assess educational needs, provide information for planning in the district,
indicate instructional strengths and weaknesses in the district's educational programs, assure that the
district is complying with the legal requirements for state-funded and federally funded programs, and
provide data for public information.
The Board will rely on its professional staff and/or outside agencies to provide continual evaluation
of the educational programs and instructional processes of the district. Specific measures will be
identified to determine program success. The superintendent or designee will periodically review
appropriate research studies to determine recent trends and developments in instructional evaluative
techniques.
The superintendent will prepare and maintain written reports about the educational programs and
instructional processes of the district and provide copies to the Board upon request and as necessary
to carry out the Board evaluations required by this policy. The reports will include the goals and
objectives of each program, progress toward meeting those goals and objectives, an explanation of
the data and information used to determine program effectiveness, and recommendations for
continued or improved effectiveness.
Unless otherwise required by law or Board policy specific to a particular program, the Board will
review each district program in accordance with the following schedule. The Board may review any
program at any time and is not restricted to the schedule or programs in this policy.
