Evaluation Process Overview

In accordance with district policy and state regulations, all Richland One employees are evaluated annually. The type of evaluation—formal or informal—depends on the employee’s role, responsibilities, contract-level, certification needs, or performance history.

  • ADEPT and PADEPP participants may access forms and resources via SCLead.
  • Other evaluation systems will use documentation linked above.

Prior to evaluation, all employees will receive an orientation to their assigned evaluation system. All evaluations are conducted by qualified evaluators. While evaluation results cannot be grieved, employees may appeal their evaluation if there is evidence of procedural violations. Further details are outlined in the district employee handbook.
