Currently reads:  Although the president is directly responsible for supervising and counseling the administrator, it is the duty of all board members to support and encourage the administrator of CCS. In addition, a committee comprised of the president, vice-president, and one other board member chosen by a majority vote of the Board of Trustees will prepare a written evaluation of the CCS administrator prior to January 31 each year. The committee will present an overview of the evaluation with recommendations at the February Board of Trustees meeting. 

Proposed Change:  Although the president is directly responsible for supervising and counseling the administrator, it is the duty of all board members to support and encourage the administrator of CCS.  In addition, a committee comprised of the president, vice-president and one other board member chosen by a majority vote of the Board of Trustees will prepare a written evaluation of the CCS administrator annually and present an overview of the evaluation with recommendations at a subsequent Board of Trustees meeting.
