days prior to July 1, 2012 for the purpose of reviewing the Principal’s

said review should result in a fair and reasonable salary increase,
commensurate with the Principal's performance evaluation.

improvement

oe The promotion of collaborative relationships with parents and
staff

Assessments will be based upon direct observation of the principal’s
work, feedback received from parents, faculty, and other staff members,
as well as review of written material from the principal's office and the
school. Additionally, the principal will receive informal feedback from the
superintendent throughout the year as part of his ongoing supervision and
support.
