Both the District and the Association agree that all employees shall be regularly evaluated in order that the District and the individual employee will have an accurate and timely appraisal of performance. The following policy shall govern all employee observation and evaluation:

A.             An employee will be given a copy of any written class visit or evaluation report prepared by the employee's principal and/or supervisor. No performance appraisal report shall be submitted to central administration, placed in an employee's file, or otherwise acted upon, without a copy to the employee.

B.             Each employee will have the right, in accordance with procedures established by the Personnel Department and in the presence of the Director of Personnel Services or designee, to review, and copy, the contents of the employee's complete personnel file, with the exception of confidential recommendations. An employee will be entitled to have a representative of the Association accompany the employee during such review.

C.             With the exception of confidential employment recommendations, an employee shall receive a copy of all entries made in the employee's personnel folder. In any instance where an entry is made in a personnel folder with which the employee disagrees, or takes exception, the employee shall have the right to file a written statement in the employee's behalf, with copies to all parties concerned, and such statement shall become an attachment to the said entry, and shall become a permanent part of the personnel record of the employee.
