Evaluation Report Procedures. Each evaluation shall be reported by the evaluator utilizing the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the State 8 criteria as prescribed by the appropriate evaluation form: A.

A non-provisional employee with a final cumulative score of Unsatisfactory will be recommended for probation. A non-provisional employee will also be recommended for probation if he/she receives a final cumulative score of Basic in two consecutive years or two Basic scores within a three year period. Should an evaluator determine that concerns exist early enough in the year in order to adequately complete a Comprehensive Evaluation, the employee may be moved from Focused to Comprehensive at that time. Should this occur, the scores may be used to determine probationary status. The Superintendent or his/her designee shall notify OEA leadership of the proposed probationary status of the employee. The report shall include the following: 1. The evaluation report 2. A recommended specific and reasonable program designed to assist the employee in improving his or her performance.

Establishment of Probationary Period If the Superintendent concurs with the evaluator’s judgment that the performance of the employee warrants probation as described above, the Superintendent shall place the employee in a probationary status for a duration of no less than 60 school days. Days may be added if deemed necessary to complete a program for improvement and evaluate the probationer's performance, as long as the probationary period is concluded before May 15th of the same school year. On or before the first day of the probationary period, the employee shall be given written notice of the action of the Superintendent which notice shall contain the following information: 1.
