Central Cass board rates superintendent unsatisfactory, orders improvement plan
Summary
After a split vote, the Central Cass School Board voted 4-3 to rate Superintendent Forness "unsatisfactory" and to require an improvement plan, following a failed attempt to approve a satisfactory rating.
The Central Cass School Board voted 4-3 on March 16 to rate Superintendent Forness "unsatisfactory" and to require an improvement plan.
Board member Kyle Schultz moved and Board member Paul Olsen seconded the motion to rate the superintendent unsatisfactory and to create an improvement plan. In the roll call vote, Board members Chris Kittleson, Paul Olsen, Kyle Schultz and Board President Joe Morken voted Yes; Brent Everson, Shannon White and Troy Roesler voted No. The motion carried.
Earlier in the meeting, Board member Brent Everson had moved, with Shannon White seconding, to approve the superintendent evaluation with a satisfactory rating; that motion failed on a 3-4 roll call (Troy Roesler, Brent Everson and Shannon White voted Yes; Chris Kittleson, Paul Olsen, Kyle Schultz and Joe Morken voted No).
The board cited NDCC 15.1-14.03 in completing the evaluation process as recorded in the minutes. The board also affirmed its Governance Board/Superintendent Relationship (BSR 6) annual evaluation policy during the meeting; that affirmation passed with all members except Kyle Schultz voting Yes.
The immediate result of the March 16 vote is the requirement that an improvement plan be created for Superintendent Forness. The minutes do not specify a timeline or the details of the improvement plan; those items were not specified in the record and will need to be developed by the board or staff in follow-up meetings.
