Bill Would Return Superintendent's Evaluation to Secrecy

I was wondering when this was going to surface.

Over at Dr H's Blog the Commish is supporting SB 178. He sees it as an issue of transparency versus effectiveness.

This from the Legislative Research Commission:

SB 178 (BR 1830) - D. Givens
AN ACT relating to evaluation of superintendents of schools.

Amend KRS 156.577 to clarify the evaluation requirements for the local superintendent; require that the summative evaluation be discussed and adopted in an open meeting of the local board of education and reflected in the minutes; specify that if the local policy requires a written evaluation that it shall be made available to the public upon request; and require that preliminary discussions relating to the evaluation of the superintendent by the board or between the board and the superintendent prior to the summative evaluation be conducted in closed session.
