- The purposes of the evaluation are: (1) to assess and improve the personal and professional growth of each employee and thus insure a higher quality of service, and (2) to provide a basis for necessary administrative decisions.
- Evaluation is an ongoing process. Suggestions and constructive criticism should take place whenever the need arises. Written evaluation forms shall be completed for all ESP employees annually, or more often if deemed necessary by the immediate supervisor, principal, or Superintendent.

The purpose of the conference is to review areas of commendation or areas of concern and suggest goals for improvement.
