District Board
  - Policies

Monitoring executive performance is synonymous with monitoring organizational performance against board policies on Ends and on Executive Limitations. Any evaluation of CEO performance may be derived only from these monitoring data.

1. The purpose of monitoring is simply to determine the degree to which board policies are being fulfilled. Information which does not do this will not be considered to be monitoring.
2. A given policy may be monitored in one or more of three ways:
   
   • Internal report: Disclosure of compliance information to the board from the chief executive.
   • External report: Discovery of compliance information by a disinterested, external auditor, inspector or judge who is selected by and reports directly to the board. Such reports must assess executive performance only against policies of the board, not those of the external party unless the board has previously indicated that party’s opinion to be the standard.
   • Direct board inspection: Discovery of compliance information by a board member, a committee or the board as a whole. This is a board inspection of documents, activities or circumstances directed by the board which allows a prudent person test of policy compliance.
3. Upon the choice of the board, any policy can be monitored by any method at any time. For regular monitoring, however, each ENDs and Executive Limitations policy will be classified by the board according to frequency and method.
   
   • A schedule of monthly, quarterly, semiannual and annual internal and external reports will be developed and maintained.
   • Each year, the CEO will identify, during the board retreat, monitoring reports which may be routinely provided to the board in compliance with their review schedule which show that the ends are being properly measured and monitored. The board may adopt these recommendations, add to the list or revise the list of reports at any time.
4. Semi-annually, the board will conduct a formal evaluation of the CEO. This evaluation will not only consider monitoring data as defined here, but as it has appeared over the intervening year.
   
   • The CEO, in concert with the board at a designated meeting, will review the CEO’s goals (4-5) for the upcoming year.
   • The report will include:
     
     • major WCTC objectives for the next academic year
     • major personal work objectives for the same period
     • project/objective where most emphasis of time will be spent
     • continuous improvement goals related to managerial relationships
     • identification of two biggest challenges facing WCTC in the next academic year
   • The CEO will provide quarterly reports updating goals for review and discussion. These reports will describe accomplishments to date and next steps to be taken.
   • At the January and May board meetings, formal evaluations will be conducted during closed session reviewing the CEO’s WCTC and personal outcomes summary for the periods defined in items 4.A., 4.B. & 4.C. above. Following closed session, the board chair will summarize the comments provided in the evaluation and provide a copy to the CEO for his/her personal file to show evidence of monitoring administrative leadership.
