Bonneville Joint School District No. 93
CLASSIFIED EVALUATION
The development of a strong, competent classified staff and the maintenance of high
morale among that staff, are major objectives of the Bonneville Joint School District No.
93 Board of Trustees. The Board recognizes that continuous, thorough appraisal of staff
performance is critical to the realization of these objectives. The purpose of evaluation is
to identify the employee’s performance level, growth potential, and developmental needs
as well as to strengthen the school staff as a whole, and improve support services. The
Board expects principals and supervisors to exert every effort to encourage staff
members to develop their performance to an optimal degree.

Evaluation form in the following areas of job performance:
a. Driver compliance
b. Basic driving skills

f. Routes
g. Backing
2. The Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 Performance Evaluation – Classified
Personnel form (5130F1) will be used annually for the formal evaluation of all other

to recognize good performance and to let employees know that their contributions
have an impact on the District.
4. During the annual performance evaluation, position requirements will be reviewed
and discussed with the principal and/or supervisor.

d. Supervision shall be as open and direct as possible allowing considerations for
the nature of reasonable concerns.
6. The annual performance evaluation shall not create a property right in the employee
or modify the at-will-employment status described herein.
Discussion of Performance Evaluations
1. Principals or supervisors should hold confidential discussions regarding the
employee’s formal evaluation. These discussions can be used to clarify functions,
duties, and responsibilities and to motivate the employee toward improved
performance.
2. During the discussion, the evaluator should give employees the opportunity to
present views concerning their performance thus, encouraging valuable two-way
communication.
3. Employees shall have the right to include a written statement or document as an
addendum to the evaluation form if they wish to do so.
4. After discussing the annual performance evaluation, the evaluation form shall be
signed by the Principal or Supervisor and the employee.
a. The employee’s signature implies only that he or she had an opportunity to see
and discuss the written evaluation.
b. The employee’s signature does not sacrifice any right to appeal or to grieve.
c. If the employee declines to sign the document, the evaluator will have a witness
sign the document to verify that the employee had access to the annual
evaluation.
5. Original copies of the evaluation form will be submitted to the Human Resources
Department for review and placement in the respective personnel file.
6. One copy of the evaluation will be given to the classified employee and one copy to
the principal and/or supervisor.
Unsatisfactory Performance
1. When aspects of a classified employee’s performance are in need of improvement,
the evaluator will specifically identify those areas needing improvement either using
the Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 Classified Personnel – Employee
Warning Notice form (5130F2) or in the form of a written letter, and discuss the need
for improvement with the employee.
