HJ 117 School boards; encouraged to use performance-based contracts to evaluate division superintendents.
Introduced by: Dwight Clinton Jones | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Performance-based contracts for division superintendents. Encourages school boards to use performance-based contracts to evaluate division superintendents. Performance-based contracts are agreements between division superintendents and the school board that set priorities for performance, tie the superintendent's salary to student achievement and certain other indicators of job performance, and provide time for implementing change. This resolution notes that performance contracts are growing in popularity among school boards across the nation due to considerable attention given to school reform, student achievement, and school accountability, and to the need to establish criteria for the accountability of school leaders. The resolution notes further that sustaining the progress in school reform and fulfilling the Commonwealth's vision of a public school system without peer requires innovative, daring, and visionary leaders who are unafraid to lead and are not intimidated by the future.
