Board discloses superintendent’s periodic evaluation goals: graduation, attendance and extracurricular participation
Summary
Following a closed session evaluation, the Lansing board publicly listed three goals for Superintendent Scholdener: reach an 85% districtwide graduation rate by 2027, raise attendance by 2% relative to a baseline, and increase student extracurricular participation by 20% by 2027.
After recessing into closed session for a periodic employment evaluation permitted under the Open Meetings Act, the Lansing Public School District Board of Education returned to open session and publicly reported three goals it set for Superintendent Scholdener.
Board members described the exercise as a mid‑cycle progress review rather than adoption of a numerical final evaluation score. In open session trustees presented the agreed goals they will use to monitor superintendent progress during the remainder of the evaluation cycle.
The three goals the board identified are: • Achieve an 85% districtwide graduation rate by 2027 (a strategic plan target the board has adopted). • Increase overall attendance by 2% comparing 2024–25 student attendance to baseline figures from school year 2021–22, as reflected in the district’s MICIP plan. • Increase student participation in at least one extracurricular activity by 20% by 2027, measured against baseline data from school year 2022–23.
Board leadership said the superintendent will provide periodic updates on progress toward those goals; trustees emphasized the items are long‑range and that staff will report interim indicators publicly. The superintendent thanked the board and framed the goals as a continuation of district strategic priorities: graduation, daily attendance and student opportunities through extracurricular activities.
Board members noted the public report of goals will be reflected in the minutes and used as the basis for future progress reports rather than an immediate numeric rating or action.
No formal vote to adopt a final evaluation score was taken in open session; trustees described this as setting and ratifying goals for ongoing monitoring.
