Board member Duvall, who led the item, told trustees the district moved the evaluation earlier in the year because Pinder does not have a multiyear contract and trustees must complete individual meetings ahead of a public discussion. She pointed the board to the rubric in the packet (page 27) that the board will use to rate nine standards and assemble a points-based score. Duvall said, \"the final rubric is average, and Kelly takes care of doing that,\" referring to staff member Kelly Pogue.

The board agreed each trustee should meet with the superintendent before April 20. The board will hold a workshop on April 22 to discuss the compiled evaluations in public; Duvall said that is the date when evaluations become public record. Trustees discussed timing for negotiating terms of employment if they decide to extend a contract. Several trustees argued the board should not negotiate final contract terms on the same day as the public workshop; after discussion the board tentatively identified May 6 as a reasonable follow-up date for negotiation and possible action, allowing time for a board-appointed negotiator to meet with Pinder.

Why it matters: The schedule determines when the board will make a decision about extending or renewing the superintendent's employment and who will lead contract negotiations; trustees noted the need for adequate negotiation time if they decide to continue Pinder’s employment. Board members discussed that the chair has often led negotiations and the chair agreed to serve as negotiator if the board accepts that role.

Additional directions and logistics: Trustees asked staff to set up individual evaluation meetings before April 21. Duvall reiterated that the rubric and nine performance standards have been used historically and will form the basis of each trustee’s completed evaluation form. Legal counsel and staff had no additional recommendations during the workshop.

No vote to extend or amend the superintendent’s contract occurred during the workshop. The board discussed the sequence: individual meetings up to April 20, workshop on April 22 to make evaluations public and discuss outcomes, and a negotiator-appointed follow-up (tentatively May 6) to negotiate terms if the board votes to pursue an extension.

Ending: Staff (Kelly Pogue) was asked to schedule the required individual meetings before the April 20 deadline and to compile averages from each trustee’s rubric for the April 22 workshop; the board did not set a firm date for any contract vote during the Feb. 25 workshop.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hernando School District - School Board Workshop on 2025-02-25 2:00 PM - Feb 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Hernando County School Board reviewed and adjusted the timeline for the 2024–25 evaluation of Superintendent Pinder during its Feb. 25 workshop, agreeing on individual meeting deadlines and a schedule for compiling and discussing scores but not taking a formal contract action.","taxTitle","Hernando, School Districts, Florida","taxId",13114,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6663709,"Hernando school board discusses splitting HR and professional-standards duties, no formal vote recorded",952,78000,1030000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2388908-435dd02cb07e2776a08467fd4f4cda96&start=78&end=1030","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2388908-435dd02cb07e2776a08467fd4f4cda96/thumbnail_78000.jpg","/articles/6663709/Hernando/School-Districts/Florida/Hernando-school-board-discusses-splitting-HR-and-professional-standards-duties-no-formal-vote-recorded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6663709-644d8ffc6f756c983a514b4320df782e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776582564&Signature=aurwyuZOPumsuMVisIjtuD38ytowt8R8foLsftQs9rly2zF57zrZE-jcoGDm75kPZe0r9PXOM5vTqlv3fmHSgOGoiRuf~b~xhw~VK48JpN4GM-ROClDgS2vARjyfgjIf4Bct03a1QYkreBGcxaZ3VQ1nzdiZXzcpANHDKwkwMjgx2I000FOb3jc891mydaTiDKbPmXUdgqUDs-Uvyb8-AumFdJ5OSvc80pkIXUvthIlNCOhhZ00R6d0u-sB43Fcx9UhNXFP1WN8ITcEzlthWNZn0uq278uWdQzHwHmGYx04jFVVaIBsL3ZL4bQw7GcqZ0q8gnTcPN9lS9923Cw4qJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hernando County School Board discussed a proposal on Feb. 25 to revise a job description for the district’s executive director of business services into two distinct roles — a director of labor relations and professional standards and a director of human resources — but took no formal vote.

Board members and district staff presented data they said supports separating investigative and professional-standards work from broader human-resources duties. District Human Resources Director Matt Goldrick told the board that notifications and investigations handled by his office have grown sharply in recent years: \"last year I put out 124 notifications, and this year we're already 65,\" and he said last year the district held 67 predetermination meetings compared with 30 so far this year. Goldrick said those duties take substantial time and include coordination with the Florida Department of Education professional-practices division, the Department of Children and Families and law-enforcement partners.

The proposal, listed in district materials as job description 125-2799 for a director of labor relations and professional standards, would restore a structure the district formerly used and that was originally created under Dr. Wendy Taloney in 2004, presenters said. The staff presentation included an estimate that differentiating and filling the two positions now would yield a short-term savings of $12,608.93.

Why it matters: Board members said they are balancing administrative capacity against capital needs. Board member Johnson urged caution, saying, \"What I don't wanna see happen, because if we keep on spending money on more and more personnel, we're not gonna have money to build schools,\" and asked for clarity that the change would not add a net new position to the district payroll. District staff responded that the item is intended as a differentiation of an existing position rather than creation of a new, additional post.

Discussion and next steps: Staff said the executive director of business services position has been vacant since October and that Barbara Kidder has assumed many of the executive duties in the interim. Goldrick said he has been handling investigations and related work since 2015 and that, under the proposed structure, he would continue to perform the professional-standards and labor-relations duties while the district posts a revised director of human-resources position.

Board members asked staff to clarify reporting and evaluation language in the job descriptions. Several trustees said the documents currently read that the director positions would report to an \"executive director of business services and/or designee,\" and requested that the staff identify the specific designee for reporting and evaluation if the executive-director position remains vacant. Staff agreed to revise the job descriptions to name the designee and to provide an updated organizational chart for the business-services area with current incumbents shown.

No formal motion or recorded vote was taken during the workshop. According to staff comments during the discussion, anticipated next steps are for the district to revise the job descriptions to specify reporting/evaluation lines, post the director of human resources position, and continue to have Goldrick carry out the professional-standards and labor-relations duties until the staffing changes are complete.

Board members and staff repeatedly framed these items as operational personnel decisions rather than immediate policy changes; the workshop format included requests for clarifying edits, an updated organizational chart and a public posting for the vacant director role.

The presentation cited the Pinellas County Schools Professional Standards Department as a model and noted coordination with the Florida Department of Education professional-practices division and the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) on labor-relations matters. The district also noted routine contacts with DCF and local law enforcement in staff-investigation work.

Ending: Staff said they will return revised job descriptions and an updated organizational chart to the board for further review; no date for a formal board action on the job-description changes was set during the workshop.","The Hernando County School Board discussed a proposal on Feb. 25 to revise a job description for the district’s executive director of business services into two distinct roles — a director of labor relations and professional standards and a director of human resources — but took no formal vote.","actionData","errors"]
