The primary purpose for Board self-assessment/evaluation is for the improvement of Board member leadership. In evaluating the Board’s functions and roles, the Board may focus attention to the following:
- The Board shall assess the needs of the District's students, establish priorities, and allocate the personnel and financial resources to meet the student’s needs,
- The Board shall know the standards against which they will evaluate themselves and be involved in the development of those standards,
- Evaluation shall be at a scheduled time and place with no other items on the agenda,
- The evaluation should be a composite of the individual Board members’ opinions,
- The evaluation should include a discussion of strengths and weaknesses, and
- The Board should be free to comment on any area related to its function of directing the District.
The Board and Superintendent may cooperatively develop an evaluation plan that annually evaluates the various aspects of the Board’s functions, duties, and roles.
