Issaquah School District 411
Educational Assistant – Discovery Elementary
The District supplies this Performance Improvement Checklist when an employee’s performance is determined
to be unsatisfactory for any given section of their annual Evaluation. Every effort will be made to provide
training and support necessary for the successful completion of this Performance Improvement Checklist.
Improvement must occur immediately and must be maintained. The process of performance improvement
provides that if management determines at any point during or after this time period that your overall
performance is not significantly improving, additional performance deficiencies develop, or performance
regresses, disciplinary action will be taken, up to and including termination. A decrease in performance after
successfully completing the Performance Improvement Checklist may result in being dismissed without the
issuance of another warning or improvement plan.
