Board approves Act 93 administrative agreement and personnel slate, elevates curriculum supervisor

The North Allegheny School Board on June 11 approved a 16-item human resources package that included resignations, appointments, wage adjustments, supplemental contracts, an Act 93 memorandum and an administrative compensation and performance plan.

Why it matters: Board members said the Act 93 agreement represents a substantive change in administrator evaluation and compensation by aligning performance measures to the district strategic plan. Supporters described it as a shift in recognizing and rewarding administrators for progress toward district goals.

What the board said: Miss Bridal Dozier introduced the HR folder and moved the full slate of 16 voting items. Board members praised the work that led to the Act 93 agreement. Dr. Gibbs said the revised evaluation system is "a shift change" and emphasized alignment with the strategic plan. Another board member noted significant compromise across the board and said, while she remained "in the minority on part of it," she would support the agreement because it was, overall, an improvement.

Personnel notes: The board confirmed the appointment of the supervisor of curriculum and instruction, referenced in discussion as Mr. Smith. Board members congratulated him and said he had served in the role in an interim capacity. The HR slate also included multiple wage and compensation items for classified, confidential and administrative employees, supplemental contracts and memoranda of understanding with AFSCME and other employee groups.

Vote: The HR items were opened for vote, taken verbally in part for a remote member, and the motions passed unanimously.
