Committee pushes superintendent to add measurable targets, delays vote on goals
Summary
Committee members asked the superintendent to convert broad objectives into measurable, year‑by‑year targets and to clarify metrics for a proposed student cabinet; the board declined to vote and asked the superintendent to revise and circulate the goals for a future meeting.
The school committee discussed proposed superintendent goals and asked for clearer, time‑bound metrics before taking a formal vote.
Members urged converting broad monitoring statements into SMART goals with yearly benchmarks so the committee can track progress. The superintendent described plans for a high‑school "student cabinet" of about six meetings, saying he aims to attend 85% of the sessions to hear student input directly; students who spoke at the meeting supported an inclusive cross‑section rather than a limited, election‑based council.
Several committee members said the draft goals were useful but too detailed in places and requested a revised version. One member suggested a range for event attendance rather than a fixed monthly number to give the superintendent flexibility. After discussion the committee agreed to postpone a vote and asked the superintendent to circulate a revised draft for review before the next substantive vote.
Provenance: The goals discussion began with the superintendent presentation and continued through Q&A and committee feedback until the decision to delay the vote was recorded.
