Board tables supplemental 'director of Dutch sports performance' contract after questions about days and evaluation
Summary
Board members debated a proposed SMAEA supplemental contract for a 'director of Dutch sports performance,' raising concerns that the contract's 'up to 4 days per week' wording lacked a required minimum and questions about evaluation criteria; the board voted to table the contract for clarification.
During consideration of SMAEA supplemental contracts, board members engaged in detailed discussion about the proposed 'director of Dutch sports performance' supplemental contract, focusing on ambiguous contract language and how the position would be evaluated.
Dr. Ramsey (identified in the transcript as speaker 2) said the assistant superintendent application window was closing and recommended bringing five candidates forward for interviews. In the supplemental-contract discussion, a board member asked whether the 'up to 4 days per week' phrasing created a binding minimum and whether a minimum number of days should be specified. The board discussed treating the role as a pilot, collecting 360-degree feedback from students, teams and coaches, tracking injury and cramping metrics with trainer input, and observing that coaches cannot complete formal evaluations by contract but can provide feedback to administrators who would complete required evaluations.
Members also raised concerns about whether additional training requirements for weight-room monitors could exacerbate staffing shortages for monitors. After discussing these operational and contractual details, a motion to table the director-of-Dutch-sports-performance supplemental contract until the district can revise the agreement to specify minimum days and clarify evaluation language was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board then proceeded to approve other supplemental contracts, including the special education department head, which was approved at the same meeting. The transcript indicates the director contract will be revisited with revised language at a future meeting.
The action is recorded in the meeting transcript as a tabled motion; the district should publish the revised contract language and any evaluation metrics when available.
