Collierville School Board accepts director evaluation, approves performance bonus and extends contract through 2029

The Collierville School Board unanimously accepted the 2024–25 evaluation of Director of Schools Dr. Dyer, approved a performance bonus tied to that evaluation and voted to adopt a second amendment to his employment contract that extends the term through June 30, 2029. The actions occurred during the board’s June 24 business meeting in Collierville.

The evaluation compiled by board staff returned very high ratings across categories. On a 1-to-5 scale the board’s average scores were: general administration 5.0, financial management 5.0, personnel administration 4.92, instructional leadership 4.92 and community and public relations 5.0, producing an overall average of 4.968 out of 5. The evaluation materials, submitted to the board in advance, also included written comments praising Dyer’s regular updates and decision-making.

Following acceptance of the evaluation, the board approved a performance bonus for Dr. Dyer consistent with the terms of his existing employment agreement. The motion was made and seconded; the roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous and the motion carried. The agenda and official meeting minutes list the accepted evaluation and the linked bonus as separate actions.

Separately, the board voted to adopt a second-amendment to Dr. Dyer’s employment contract. Key changes disclosed to the board include: - Term: the contract term was extended to begin July 1, 2025, and expire June 30, 2029. - Vacation: an increase in annual vacation from 20 days to 25 days. - Compensation: no base-salary increase beyond the district-wide percentage adjustment previously recognized for central-office staff; there was no new across‑the‑board raise for the director beyond that percentage. - Technology and vehicle: the contract was revised so the director is required to carry one telephone (rather than two); the district will reimburse the cost of the phone. The automobile allowance/vehicle-use provisions remain in the contract and will continue as amended.

Board members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the vote and made complimentary remarks about Dyer’s leadership before the roll call. The motions to accept the evaluation, to approve the bonus and to adopt the contract amendment were each seconded and passed by roll-call vote.
