AdministratorComments
Mr. Hawthorn commented that other than to act on recommendations, theBoard has little input in the hiring process. This is as it should be, but the Boardneeds to be confident that the hiring process incorporates a mechanism to assess acandidate’s ability and willingness to treat employees with respect, fairness andconsistency. This Board wants to see employees treated well as much as theywant academic improvement. The two are not mutually exclusive. In fact, long-term positive growth is not possible without treating employees fairly. Along thesame lines he asked if there is a component in the performance evaluation processfor administrators that addresses how well a person interfaces with theiremployees and is there an evaluation component designed to rate the skills anadministrator exhibits in dealing with employees. He requested a report on theadministrative hiring and evaluation process and noted that those parts of theprocess that insure that candidates are able to demand excellence and treatemployees with respect should be emphasized.
Ms. Mazzolini provided the Board with a copy of the site administratorevaluation document and pointed out that each standard has several elements onhow administrators work with people.
