Accountability committee outlines superintendent evaluation timeline; committee to recommend contract review
Summary
The board’s accountability committee reported it has shared materials for Superintendent Ray’s evaluation, reminded board members of survey deadlines, and said it will recommend initiating the superintendent contract review/extension process after the evaluation is complete.
Dr. Holman, chair of the board’s accountability committee, updated the Omaha Public Schools Board of Education on June 16 about the superintendent evaluation timeline and a related contract-extension practice.
Dr. Holman told the board the committee reviewed the evaluation format, survey and timeline; the board had approved goals and timetable in September 2024 and the committee identified three goals to guide the evaluation (continuous improvement and accountability; district shared vision and strategic direction; and the superintendent’s leadership and professional growth). "After the survey closes, the evaluation report will be shared with the board officers, and then they will meet and share the evaluation with Mr. Ray based upon the results," Holman said. Board members were reminded that the survey link would remain open through June 10 (the committee had agreed on June 9 plus a bonus day).
Holman also described the typical contract practice: the superintendent’s initial contract is three years, and the district practices a yearly review and one-year extension so there is always a three-year contract in place. Holman said that once the evaluation is complete, as committee chair he will meet with board officers to recommend initiating the review and extension process.
Holman concluded by noting the committee’s work is complete for now and invited questions; administration staffers and officers will manage the survey distribution and subsequent steps.
No final personnel action was taken during the open session; the update was informational and was followed later by a closed-session item on personnel and legal advice.
