Use of Performance Data for Hiring, Retention of Dismissal
With the information gained from the TLE Observation and Evaluation System and the
principals’ Mid-Year Review, associate superintendents are armed with the relevant and rich data they
need to make retention, placement decisions and dismissal decisions.
As mentioned above, last year, 12 principals were exited for performance and at least 7
principals were demoted (removed from their principalship) but not exited from the District. This level
of scrutiny and fortitude will continue. For purposes of dismissal decisions, associate superintendents
will review the information from the TLE system and focus their analysis on those principals who scored
between a 1 and 2 on their evaluation and who failed to improve after receiving their PDPs. In addition
to the information in the evaluation record, they will also review the evidence revealed in the Mid-Year
Reviews. The same information will also be used for purposes of new placements (hires with a track
record at TPS).
