Fayetteville City School Board plans contract extension for superintendent; approves matching bonus
Summary
After a state‑mandated evaluation that averaged 4.89 out of 5, the Fayetteville City School Board voted to approve a bonus for Superintendent Jones and said it will present a four‑year contract extension for approval at the June meeting.
The Fayetteville City School board voted to approve a one‑time bonus for Superintendent Jones and agreed to bring a proposed four‑year contract extension to its June meeting.
Board members conducted a state‑mandated annual evaluation of the superintendent earlier the same day and reported an average score of 4.89 out of 5 across the board. Following the evaluation, the board president (name not specified in the transcript) said the board would prepare a new employment contract, to begin July 1 and run for the four years permitted by state law, and present it for formal approval at the board’s June meeting. The board did not take a vote on the contract extension at the meeting; the motion to bring the contract for consideration was described as forthcoming.
The board did vote, by voice, to grant Superintendent Jones the same year‑end bonus the district had given employees in December; the motion was made and seconded and carried on a voice vote. The transcript records the board president saying the superintendent had not been included in the December employee bonus and that the board wished to “take care of his bonus” after completing the evaluation.
Superintendent Jones responded to the evaluation and the board’s action by saying, “I appreciate the confidence in the board. I'll continue and try to do my best.”
Meeting documents and remarks showed the evaluation is a multi‑item scorecard used by the board; the transcript does not cite a specific statute or code section for the state requirement. The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Monday, June 2, where the proposed contract extension will be presented for formal action.
The board also recognized a graduating senior who had served as a student board member and presented a small gift and her nameplate; the transcript does not record a vote related to that recognition.
