EVALUATIONS: The Littlestown School District recognizes the importance of the evaluation process. The evaluation process promotes both employee and department growth as a recap and evaluation of the year is reviewed and discussed. Each year, positions that use the Salary Scale must complete the evaluation process with either the Athletic Director (for athletic positions) or the Building Principal/Designee (for non-athletic positions). Coaches will be evaluated in 7 categories: Sportsmanship, Communication, Organization, Professional Growth, Fairness, Knowledge, and Student Participation. Coaches will receive an unsatisfactory, needs improvement, or satisfactory in each category. A coach receiving a needs improvement in more than 2 categories will be given an overall score of needs improvement. If this occurs, the Athletic Director in collaboration with the Coach will create a clear and written plan in the form of an Athletic Improvement Plan. The Athletic Improvement Plan will provide the Coach with clear goals and areas of improvement in order to receive a satisfactory in the subsequent year. Two years of receiving an overall needs improvement will result in an overall score of unsatisfactory and the coach will not be asked to return as coach the following season. A category score of unsatisfactory will be given before an improvement plan is implemented only in the case of a clear breech of professional or ethical conduct regarding their position. 1. All Varsity Head Coaches are responsible to evaluate all of their assistants, including Junior High coaches with the Athletic Director and with possible help from the High School Principal if needed.

VII. EXTENDED SEASON: Any coach whose sport enters into PIAA post-season play, in which you must qualify, shall be compensated at a rate as established below: 1. Salary divided by the total number of weeks in a regular season, times the total of postseason weeks. a. The regular season is defined as the first day in which the team or individuals practice as established by PIAA, until the last competition date of any contest students and/or teams do not need to qualify for. Example: Wrestling Sectionals are regular season due to schools that wish to participate automatically gaining entry to the District III event. However, the District III Wrestling tournament is an event students must qualify for and thus would count towards post season pay. b. Post season play shall be calculated from the day after the regular season ends, and end on the last day of which the team or individuals on the team participate in PIAA post season play. Any fraction of a post season week will be calculated on a pro-rated basis. This provision shall include only the head coach and varsity assistants involved in the post season play, as applicable. The salary scale document will be in effect starting July 1 of the 2016-2017 school year.
