Ethel Angal
tion reviewed Angal in

board rated her performance on a scale from
one to four, with four being the highest pos-

Siuslaw School Board Chairwoman

scored very well on her board evaluation.
Most notable was her high ethical standards
that permeated into all realms of her leader-
ship.”
The board determined that Angal’s per-
formance was “accomplished” (an average of
3.5 or higher) in the areas of visionary lead-
ership, policy and governance, communica-
tions and community relations, effective
management, curriculum planning/develop-
ment, instructional leadership, labor relations
and ethical leadership.
According to the district, her ethical lead-
ership and integrity and her ability to build a
cohesive administrative team through profes-
sional communication, support, listening and
research were her most notable strengths.
The combined score in this area was 3.93.
