The April due date was created to make sure that Employee/Labor Relations is aware of any certificated employees on provisional contracts who, because they have not met the performance schedule, are not eligible for a renewed contract. See Article XI, Section D.5.b of the CBA. If you have performance concerns about a provisional employee, please let your Employee/Labor Relations Manager know as soon as possible.

Remind the employee that his/her signature acknowledges receipt of the evaluation and does not denote agreement with the content of the evaluation. If the employee still refuses to sign, make a note on the form that the employee was provided the evaluation on (insert date) and refused to sign. Send the form in with your other completed evaluations.
