Governance

The Governance indicators are used to assess a school district’s performance and capacity in the areas the district board of education has direct oversight, including:

  • The development of curriculum that is aligned with State standards
  • The budgeting process
  • Developing and implementing all district board of education-approved policies
  • Evaluating the Chief School Administrator (CSA)
  • Reviewing and approving all new, renewed, amended, altered, or extended contracts for CSAs, deputy superintendents, assistant superintendents, and school business administrators
  • Ensuring transparency and ethical conduct of each member of the board of education

General Monitoring Notes

  • The review process will begin with a district self-assessment.
  • The verification process will begin remotely by the county office requesting the required evidence, unless stated otherwise within the verification process for the indicator.
  • If there are questions, clarifications, or additional information needed, a site visit may be scheduled at the discretion of the executive county superintendent.
