Delineation of Responsibility and Authority
The employing district is responsible for all matters relating to the supervision and evaluation of
staff hired as SCRED staff, special education reimbursed staff or shared staff.
Each staff member hired will have a designated supervisor. SCRED staff will be supervised by a
SCRED administrator. Shared staff and special education reimbursed staff will be supervised by
an administrator of the district which employs the staff.
The district’s master contract and the staff member’s job description are the basis for
supervision, evaluation, monitoring/observation, technical assistance and staff development.
The designated supervisor is responsible for master contract supervision, job description
supervision, job performance supervision, and evaluation of staff which includes the written
documentation of the process. This responsibility is not limited to the contracting district's work
site but is also applicable to all sharing districts' work sites. The designated supervisor is
responsible for establishing procedures with other districts' administrators for collaborating on
supervision and evaluation of shared and service contract staff.
The appropriate St. Croix River Education District’s program manager may provide technical
assistance to the designated supervisor by:
(1) implementing a program to develop and annually revise the description of each service
contract staff person's job including qualifications, performance responsibilities and other
details of the job;
(2) providing opportunities for each service contract staff person to participate in the
development, review and revision of his/her job description;
(3) providing opportunities for designated supervisors and district administrators to be trained to
use the job description for evaluation purposes;
(4) initiating a continuing program to determine criterion level for acceptable performance in
each area of job responsibility; and
(5) utilizing the results as the basis for planning staff development activities.
A designated supervisor may delegate job description supervision to another staff member.
