    My one experience with this was a few years back and very difficult. The
    Superintendent asked for written evaluations of a new Administrator.
    Teachers bit the bullet and honestly documented his observed deficiencies,
    in writing. The result? The Superintendent presented a pile of negative
    evaluations, recomended remediation for the Administrator, no raise, and a
    one year trial period to the School Committee. Their response? "Didn't we
    hire him to make these teachers work? Must be doing his job!" They gave him
    a raise, a three year contract, no remediation and killed any prospect of
    getting truly honest feedback from this staff anytime in the near future.
    And think of how the Superintendent feels
