Non-Instructional BASAS members will now utilize VectorEvals to submit evaluations and a new rubric that more closely aligns with non-instructional roles. See the 8-14-23 announcement here for key takeaways and to view the new HRS-PM02A Superintendent Circular.

Please see the memo linked here for information about each employee group's evaluation process and deadlines. Use the PMT One-Pager SY22-23 as a quick reference guide.

As you may be aware, BPS experienced a service disruption today to our online evaluation platform, Vector Evaluations+PD. The service disruption appears to be resolved as of 3:30pm. Nonetheless, the disruption warrants additional time for evaluators to complete evaluations due today, May 15. Accordingly, for BTU evaluations due today that have not yet been released, release these evaluations as soon as possible (but no later than 11:59pm Wednesday May 17th).

May 18 at 11am (School Committee Room) and June 8 at 10am (Zoom/Virtual) will be the last sessions for SY23. Sign up in Vector PD if you manage Central Office staff and have not yet attended this training. More info in item #1 of this memo.

Please see the memo linked here outlining evaluation processes for Central Office staff for the 2022-2023 year.
