The Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools Board of Education on Monday read a public statement summarizing its closed-session summative evaluation of Superintendent Dr. Thomas for the 2024-25 school year.
The board's letter, signed by Dan White, chair of the Board of Education, praised the superintendent's work to build a culture of cooperation, visibility at district events and fiscal management while identifying academic outcomes, community engagement and long-term financial planning as areas for continued focus.
Board members said they saw progress in school improvement coordination and recommended tools such as district dashboards and clear goal-setting to help the board and the public track student outcomes. The statement encouraged broader community outreach and noted the board's expectation to collaborate on a five-year academic framework for goals and metrics.
Superintendent Dr. Thomas thanked the board, called evaluation "glow and grow" feedback and said he and district staff will work on aligning strategic priorities, resources and outreach. He told the board he expected to continue developing a five-year academic framework and engage the board in setting high-leverage metrics.
The statement is the public summary of a closed-session evaluation the board completed last week. No new personnel action for the superintendent was announced during the reading.
