2015-16 Superintendent Evaluation

Background:

The Board of the Mankato Area Public Schools evaluated Superintendent Sheri Allen during a closed study session held on June 6, 2016.

Based on the review and discussion, the following areas of strength were identified:

    • Moving the district forward
    • Leadership TEAM development

  • Professionalism and quality leadership
  • Community support for the district and partnership development  
The following areas were identified for continuing development:

  • Building capacity in the TEAM
 Superintendent Allen, in this Board’s view, is a highly functioning education leader.  She has developed and maintains a working relationship with area K-12 schools and higher education institutions.  By using the Strategic Roadmap, Dr. Allen builds an emphasis on closing the achievement gap, training staff, building legislative understanding of education needs and community engagement.
