Superintendent’s Annual Performance

This has been posted on the school district's website. I encourage everyone to take part:

Superintendent’s Annual Performance - Annual Feedback Form for Members of the Community
We on the School Board are interested in getting the best information we can
from the constituents of our District in order to obtain a fair and accurate evaluation of our Superintendent. We thank you for taking part in this evaluation, and wanted to clarify to you what will happen to your feedback and how it will be used. Feedback is being obtained from the School Board, from administrators and staff
in the District, and from members of the community. Some members of those groups are
being asked specifically to complete feedback forms, but any member may do so by
printing this feedback form, and returning it to President of the School Board, P. O. Box 991, Ripon, WI, 54971 by May 1, 2009. We are asking everyone to sign their forms, as you will see below. It is important you understand that the President of the School Board will detach the first sheet containing your signature, and the feedback forms you have provided will proceed without your name being attached to them. We hope by this procedure to provide a balance between discouraging irresponsible anonymous attacks and providing peace of mind for those who may have difficult things to say.

Signature of person completing this annual feedback form:
