Summary
The board approved an updated superintendent evaluation tool that restores an ethical and personal integrity item and uses a president-centered spreadsheet to collect individual member scores privately before the board’s discussion.
Dr. Benjamin introduced a revised superintendent-evaluation tool the board developed in recent months, saying the changes restored language around ethical and personal integrity and clarified numbering and rubric items.
She described a proposed process in which the president (or a designated officer) would send the evaluation instrument individually to each board member; members would score the superintendent privately and the president would compile results to bring forward for the final discussion. "This would just be the final, final document when you come together to discuss it," Dr. Benjamin said, explaining the tool is intended to simplify scoring and preserve member confidentiality in the initial scoring phase.
Board members complimented the spreadsheet layout and color coding and thanked the colleagues who built the tool. Ms. Moran moved to approve the superintendent evaluation tool as presented; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
What happens next: The president will distribute the evaluation tool per the agreed process and staff will implement the scoring timeline described by Dr. Benjamin.
