Stipend employees urge RSU 18 to institute professional development and formal check‑ins
Summary
A stipend employee told the board that long‑term stipend workers often receive no performance check‑ins and urged the district to provide yearly reviews, professional development, and a third‑party survey of administrators’ interactions with short‑term staff.
During public comment, Samantha Tuningley said stipend employees in the district routinely lack formal performance reviews and clear communications from administration. "You could work in one of these positions for 10 years without a single check‑in or a meeting about your performance," she told the board, urging annual check‑ins and a third‑party survey of administrative practices.
Tuningley said the absence of feedback left stipend employees unsure about renewal decisions and that better professional development and communication would improve retention and fairness. The board acknowledged the comment and directed that issue to the administration for follow‑up during summer planning and the upcoming school year.
