In a recent government meeting, a motion was made to issue a written reprimand to Superintendent Dr. Faizley, citing serious concerns regarding his performance. The motion, which received a second, opened the floor for discussion among board members.
The reprimand outlines several areas where Dr. Faizley has allegedly failed to fulfill his statutory duties as superintendent. Key points of concern include his lack of supervision over the general operations of the school district and school personnel, as well as his failure to perform other duties requested by the board. Specific incidents highlighted include the improper handling of the CMART committee selection process, where a licensed contractor was not present during interviews, and the premature announcement of a committee selection prior to board approval.
Additionally, Dr. Faizley was criticized for not adhering to board governance policies, particularly in relation to a letter of intent for a lease that was signed without board consent. The reprimand also notes his failure to communicate effectively with the public regarding significant changes to academic programming, which hindered support and understanding of district initiatives.
The board emphasized that these actions constitute violations of both statutory and contractual obligations, as well as specific board policies. The discussion surrounding the reprimand reflects ongoing accountability measures within the school district, aiming to ensure adherence to governance standards and effective leadership.
