Evaluation and Due Process Clause Samples
The Evaluation and Due Process clause establishes procedures for assessing performance, compliance, or other relevant criteria, while ensuring that affected parties are treated fairly and given an opportunity to respond. Typically, this clause outlines the steps for conducting evaluations, such as notice requirements, timelines, and the right to present evidence or appeal decisions. Its core function is to promote transparency and fairness in decision-making processes, thereby protecting the rights of all parties and reducing the risk of arbitrary or biased outcomes.
Evaluation and Due Process. The purpose of teacher evaluation includes aiding the individual teacher to grow professionally, raising the standard of the teaching profession as a whole, and raising the quality of instruction and education services to the children of the District. To help maintain high quality instruction, the teacher will receive an evaluation of his/her performance by the principal or designee in accordance with the District’s PBTE. This evaluation should enable a teacher to realize strengths and weaknesses as a personal guide for his/her improvement. Also, evaluations serve as a guideline for continued employment as provided by the Missouri Teacher Tenure Act. Teacher evaluations will be based on the Wentzville Performance Based Teacher Evaluation Plan (PBTE). The District will ensure that the PBTE process and procedures are implemented per Wentzville School District Policy and Regulation 4610. The purpose of the teacher evaluation process is to mentor and promote professional growth, enhance the quality of education, and assist the District in making personnel decisions that enhance the education of students.

Each nurse shall be fully appraised by the District of the evaluation forms, standards, criteria and procedures for evaluation within the first thirty (30) days of their employment and/or assignment to a work site. Each nurse new to the District shall be evaluated within the first sixty (60) days of employment. Each nurse will be evaluated annually by the Director of Health Services with input from the building principal or designated administrator. The Director of Health Services will visit each clinic at least once each semester. The nurse will have the option of adding comments to the evaluation or other information added to the personnel file. If serious deficiencies, concerns and/or problems are noted by an administrator or if complaints are made against a nurse by a parent, student or other person, then it will be promptly called to the attention of the nurse and the administrator will verify the incident occurred. The principal/ Director of Health Services / Executive Director of Student Services must note this in writing and give it to the nurse within five (5) school days of him/her noting that the deficiencies, concerns or complaint(s) are of a serious nature. Any deficiencies, concerns or complaints not called to the attention of the nurse within five (5) days of the administrator being made aware may not be used as the basis for any reprimand, discipline or discharge. Nurses may have a representative of their choice in meetings involving disciplinary action or in investigatory meetings that might lead to disciplinary action and in meetings regarding their evaluation.
Evaluation and Due Process c. Elicit behavior related to selected dimensions of the job class;
d. Focus directly on and emphasize the identified areas for development; and
e. Provide opportunities for overall professional growth and broadening of experience. If the employee and evaluator are unable to reach agreement upon the content of the objectives, and the employee is dissatisfied with the evaluator’s determination, the employee may note on the Initial Planning Sheet that the objectives were not the product of mutual agreement. In such cases, the employee’s required signature indicates only receipt and acknowledgment of the objectives that will be used for evaluation purposes. During the school year, if performance problems develop or if constraints are identified which will affect the evaluatee’s progress toward meeting the established objectives, the objectives may be modified. Either the employee or the evaluator may initiate discussion toward such a modification.
