1st Formal Observation Clause Samples

The "1st Formal Observation" clause establishes the initial official review or inspection of a project, process, or subject matter as specified in an agreement. This clause typically outlines when and how the first formal assessment will take place, who will be present, and what aspects will be evaluated. By setting clear expectations for the timing and conduct of the first formal observation, this clause helps ensure that all parties are aligned on progress, compliance, or quality standards early in the process, thereby reducing misunderstandings and facilitating timely corrective actions if needed.
1st Formal Observation. A. The first of at least two (2) prearranged formal observations for each employee shall be conducted within the first ninety (90) days of the school year. The total annual observation time cannot be less than sixty (60) minutes.

D.
