Before September 15, the county board and the superintendent shall annually establish written, measurable, and timely goals or objectives for the superintendent to accomplish.  Each goal or objective shall include a specific timeline for completion.  The timeline need not be the same for each goal or objective, and the timeline for any goal or objective may extend beyond the end of the current school year.  At least one goal must relate to student achievement. Goals addressing student success and well-being, including the required student achievement goal, must support progress of the established county strategic plan goals.

The process shall require the county board to annually assess the superintendent’s achievement of the written goals or objectives before June 30, except that the assessment shall be made before March 1 if the superintendent’s contract is set to expire on the ensuing June 30. The process shall require the county board to evaluate the superintendent’s performance in executive session, and to make available to the public a general statement about the evaluation process and the overall result and progress in meeting goals.  The process shall specify how the county board will arrive at the general statement about the evaluation process and the overall result. The process shall allow for the release of additional information about the evaluation only by mutual consent of the superintendent and the county board.
