Board finds superintendent in compliance with P7 student‑learning environment; asks for clearer data links and language revisions
Summary
The North Shore School District Board of Directors voted Jan. 13 to find Superintendent Michael Tully in compliance with Superintendent Parameter Policy P7 (student learning environment) after reviewing the monitoring report and a lengthy board discussion about data, harassment and policy language.
The North Shore School District Board of Directors reviewed the superintendent’s monitoring report for Superintendent Parameter Policy P7, "Student Learning Environment," and voted to find Superintendent Michael Tully in compliance at the board’s Jan. 13 working session.
Superintendent Michael Tully presented the monitoring report and certified that the information was "true as of today, Monday, January 13, 2025," saying the document addresses how the district provides welcoming, supportive environments, protects against unsafe behaviors, includes student voice, enforces discipline consistently and prohibits corporal punishment.
Board members engaged in an extended discussion about how the district documents and monitors climate, harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB) data, and how the policy ties to other district reports and goals. Directors asked staff to do three things as part of follow‑up: (1) better link parameter reports to datasets already produced in goal reports and Friday updates, (2) provide additional data and clarifications on HIB and climate measures for board review, and (3) review specific phrasing in the policy — including the term "appropriate manner" used in connection with retaliation protections — and propose alternate wording.
Deputy Superintendent Jolynn Berge and other staff told directors that some of the requested data already appears in goal reports and other district pages, and staff agreed to identify direct links and consolidate relevant data sources into future parameter reports. Berge explained how state funding and reporting interact with budget and program monitoring in other items later in the meeting.
After discussion the board considered motions. A motion to find the superintendent "making adequate progress" was withdrawn. Director [not specified] moved, and another director seconded, a motion to find the superintendent in compliance with P7. The board then voted to find the superintendent in compliance; the board president recorded the vote as passed. No formal corrective action plan was required because the board’s finding was "in compliance." Board members noted the conversation and asked that the points discussed be included as evaluator feedback for the superintendent’s year‑end evaluation.
Board members also suggested using the board retreat in March as a venue to map which data sources should be linked to each superintendent parameter report and to define how the board will monitor continuous improvement going forward. Staff said they would provide additional HIB metrics and references to goal reports in future parameter submissions.
