Anything that comes up in this evaluation could be used for next year's evaluation.
Suggestion: Survey staff and determine morale & solicit feedback. This would not be included in this year's Head of School evaluation. Suggested that the survey would be sent by the VIBE board.
Anything done now (this year) will help the board and Head of School to understand and set expectations.
Robert will clean up the evaluation tool and will send it to Thanh. Harry will upload the tool for the next Board meeting to vote.
