Evaluation of the Board and the President

The Board is committed to assessing its own performance as a Board and that of the President’s in order to identify strengths and areas which may improve. 

The Board shall conduct a review of its performance and of the President’s with the intention of strengthening performance, identifying and reaching consensus on goals, ensuring clear understandings of responsibilities, and clarifying expectations among Trustees with the President. 

The Chair will annually organize and convene a special meeting of the Board for evaluating the Board’s and the President’s performance. 

To that end, the Board has established the following procedure:

• The Board’s self-evaluation and President’s evaluation instruments will be distributed, by the Board Secretary, to each Trustee no later than March 15 of each year.
• Each Trustee should complete the evaluation instruments and deliver them to the Board Secretary no later than April 15 of each year.
• The Board Secretary should cause to be prepared a summary and/or compilation of the collective evaluations and deliver it to each Trustee no later than April 30 of each year. All documents related to the Board’s self-evaluation and the President’s evaluation are confidential and exempt from disclosure under Idaho’s Public Records law, Idaho Code §§ 9-337, et seq.
• An executive session of the Board should occur no later than June 1 of each year to review the President’s performance and the Board’s self-evaluation. This review will include a discussion with the President.
• The evaluation results for the Board and the President will be used to identify accomplishments in the past year and goals for the following year.
• Any changes to the evaluation instruments, including goals, should be addressed at this meeting.
• The regular session minutes will reflect when the Board’s and the President’s evaluations are complete 

The Board commits itself and its members to ethical, businesslike, and lawful conduct, including proper use of authority, appropriate decorum during meetings, and respect for other members, College employees, and any other person coming before the Board for whatever reason.
