PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

WHAT OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS RELATING TO SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENT IN STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ARE CONTAINED IN YOUR SUPERINTENDENT'S CONTRACT? IN PRINCIPAL CONTRACTS?



**KRIS BEAVER: These measurements are in their performance evaluations not their contracts. It makes more sense to put them there, because otherwise you would have an extremely long contract that would be cumbersome and if you wanted to change the measurements you would have to wait until the end of the contract.



CARL WILLIAM KNEPEL: Principals will be required to keep their students in line with or above state and national academic test scores. Principls will also be required to provide challenging course work. The superintendents' duties will be the same except for it will be at all sites instead of a individual school.



RANDY STARK: I have not had the privilege to review the specfics of the contracts mentioned above. I believe, however, that performance at all levels needs to be achieved through very clear objective based management. These objectives need to be concise, understood, measureable, and regularly reviewed. I am also a firm believer in compensation programs that are based on pay for performance.



TIM STEPANSKI: I am currently not versed on contracts enough to establish relevant goals other than achievement of current goals established by state and federal standards and having rankings based off of percentage of achievement over those goals.
