Petersburg High School has been recognized as one of America’s Best High Schools by U.S. News and World Report study. The 2010 U.S. News and World Report “America’s Best High Schools” methodology, developed by School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education data research business run by Standard & Poor’s, is based on the key principles that a great high school must serve all its students well, not just those who are college bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators.

COMMUNITY INPUT: ANNUAL EVALUATION OF THE PETERSBURG CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

INTRODUCTION
    Each year the Board of Education and the superintendent meet to review the superintendent's performance and set goals for the coming year. Your input and perceptions are important to both the Petersburg City School District Board of Education and to the superintendent. Thank you in advance for taking the time to assist in the evaluation process by participating in this anonymous survey.
SUPERINTENDENT JOB FUNCTION
    The superintendent serves as chief administrative officer of the Petersburg City School District. The superintendent operates under the policy direction of the Board and in accordance with federal and state laws; provides assistance to the Board in developing, formulating, and revising guidance documents in school finance, school program planning, and educational program review.
    Work is accomplished by providing leadership to the school system employees and members of the community, and by system management that recognizes the need to achieve student, staff and Board goals, as well as the system improvement plans and objectives. Communications are provided to all levels within the school system, the city, the publics served by the schools, state organizations and agencies. Each of the programs must be conducted in compliance with policies and procedures of the Board of Education, as well as state rules and regulations and state and federal statutes.
    The questions in this survey come directly from the district adopted "Superintendent Evaluation" instrument used by members of the Board in evaluating the superintendent. The only questions not included in this web based survey were those that related directly to the superintendent's working relationship with the Board of Education.

CENSUS 2010

The 2010 Census is on the horizon and the U.S. Census Bureau wants to ensure that everyone is counted. Below are five questions about the census and a link to the census website.

WHAT: The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States

WHO: All U.S. residents must be counted – both citizens and non citizens

WHEN: Folks will receive the census questionnaire in March 2010 either by U.S. mail or hand delivery. Some people in remote areas will be counted in person.

WHY: The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years to count the population and determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives.

HOW: Households should complete and mail back their questionnaires upon receipt. Households that do not respond may receive a replacement questionnaire in early April. Census takers will visit households that do not return questionnaires to take a count in person.
