Board approves 'proficient' evaluation for Superintendent Dr. Lincoln Hooker
Summary
The board voted to approve a composite evaluation rating Dr. Lincoln Hooker as "proficient," praising management and operations while noting goals for continued communication and data collection; trustees approved the final document after a minor wording correction.
The Board of Trustees voted July 23 to approve a composite superintendent evaluation that rates Dr. Lincoln Hooker overall as "proficient," with particularly strong marks in management and operations.
A trustee who compiled the evaluation presented the composite report and walked the board through goals and standards used in the assessment. The report highlighted recent capital projects (horticulture building, companion animal building and related campus improvements), expanded course offerings, and communication efforts such as the monthly newsletter. The management-and-operations standard was described in the report as exemplary; instructional leadership, family and community engagement, and professional culture received strong ratings as well.
After limited discussion about the difference between "proficient" and "exemplary" in the rubric, trustees moved to approve the document as presented with a minor correction (removing the word "draft" and fixing a typographical error). The motion passed by voice vote.
Dr. Lincoln Hooker thanked the board for the evaluation, saying the positive assessment "invigorated" him and that he welcomed the feedback as motivation to continue improvement. Trustees emphasized that the evaluation will remain part of the public record.
Next procedural steps: the approved evaluation will be placed in the record as the evaluation for the 2023'24 cycle; trustees said they will continue to provide reciprocal accountability and participate in strategic planning sessions referenced in the report.
