Summary
The Gardner School Committee voted to accept Superintendent Dr. Pellegrino's summative evaluation and approved a 5% contract salary adjustment; Dr. Pellegrino told the committee he plans to take the same 2% raise as teachers.
The Gardner School Committee on Monday accepted the district’s summative evaluation of Superintendent Dr. Pellegrino and approved a 5% salary adjustment to his contract.
Committee member Miss Belayman presented the compiled individual evaluations and told the committee that "most of the committee found him to be proficient or exemplary in all of the different areas that we are tasked with evaluating him on." The motion to accept the evaluation was made by Miss Polivan and seconded by Miss Ward; the committee voted "Aye" and the motion carried.
Separately, the committee approved a motion to give Dr. Pellegrino a 5% salary adjustment. The motion was made by Miss Belayman and seconded by Miss Hurst; the motion passed after members voted in favor. After the vote, Dr. Pellegrino addressed the committee, saying, "I kinda go with what the teachers have. So I'll get the same raise as the teachers, which I believe is 2% for this coming year." That statement was recorded immediately after the formal vote.
The committee treated the evaluation acceptance and the salary adjustment as formal actions. The evaluation vote and the salary vote were each announced as carried by voice vote. No roll-call breakdown of the salary vote was recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
