Nurses Employed Beginning With the 4th Year and Beyond Nurses in this category will be evaluated every other year and receive a minimum of two observations during the evaluation year, one to be held between September 15 and December 15, and the other to be held between the first full week in January and April 15. More observations may be held at any time during the two-year cycle at the discretion of the evaluator or evaluatee. A pre-observation conference may be used to discuss performance objectives. A written report of the observation will be given to the nurse no later than ten school days after the observation. There will be a conference within five school days after each observation and/or after the nurse receives the written observation report at the request of either the evaluator or the evaluatee. The evaluator shall gather data regarding the nurse’s performance from: formal observations informal observations and visits by administrators information shared by the nurse regarding professional performance performance standards not readily observable in the nurses office. No information of a negative nature shall be included in the summative evaluation unless it has been substantiated and is based on the evaluator’s own observations, documentation, and/or reasonable investigation conducted with the knowledge of the nurse. No criticisms shall appear on the summative evaluation unless they have been discussed in a timely fashion by the nurse and the administrator and documented in written form. The final evaluation will be presented in person to the nurse by May 31. For reasons that are documented and substantiated, and based on major deficiencies which, in the evaluator’s judgment, have an adverse impact on students, a nurse may be evaluated off-cycle. The evaluator will inform the nurse of such off-cycle evaluation by May 31 of the regular evaluation year. Subsequent to the off-cycle evaluation year, the evaluator will determine the evaluation cycle. BRAINTREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS NURSE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
