• “Annual Evaluation of the County Superintendent’s Performance” is a two-part podcast covering the county board of education’s annual evaluation of its superintendent. By arrangement with the West Virginia School Board Association, each 25-minute episode is produced byWVEduCast – An Education Law Podcast. Links to each episode will soon appear at https://www.bowlesrice.com/education-law-blog.

  In the first episode, host Trey Morrone discusses with the Association’s general counsel, Howard Seufer, the steps of the evaluation process required by West Virginia’s school laws, with an emphasis on the modifications recently made by the West Virginia Board of Education. The second episode’s focus is on a critical part of that process: developing the goals or objectives on which the superintendent’s performance will be measured. Charlene Coburn from the West Virginia Department of Education, together with the President and Superintendent of Jackson County Schools, Jim Frazier and Blaine Hess, talk with Trey Morrone about best practices in developing the goals and objectives.

  On its website, http://www.wvsba.org, the Association will offer related written materials to help school boards and superintendents navigate the newly-revised evaluation procedure.
