Board reviews norms, schedules superintendent evaluation in closed session
Summary
Trustees reviewed board norms and announced the superintendent’s evaluation process will be facilitated by CSBA consultant Robert "Bob" Cain under Government Code Section 54957; the board recessed to closed session and later reported no reportable action.
The Stockton Unified School District board reviewed and reaffirmed its board norms and moved into closed session to conduct the superintendent’s performance evaluation facilitated by a California School Boards Association consultant.
Trustee Priest read the board norms adopted in April 2018, calling for respectful, data‑driven discussion and for trustees to direct questions to staff in advance. "We will listen actively, respectfully and with an open mind," Trustee Priest said while summarizing the norms.
District staff noted that the superintendent’s evaluation will be handled under Government Code Section 54957 and named Robert "Bob" Cain of the California School Boards Association as the facilitator. The board recessed to closed session for the evaluation; staff later announced there was "no reportable action."
The board also reviewed meeting safety and public‑comment procedures at the start of the meeting, including a three‑minute time limit for speakers and guidance on audience conduct. The meeting proceeded to closed session for personnel matters and the public portion of the meeting concluded without a public vote on the evaluation.
