Rockport School Committee accepts superintendent's exemplary evaluation and authorizes chair to negotiate contract tweaks
Summary
The Rockport School Committee unanimously accepted the superintendent's summative evaluation, citing exemplary work in multiple categories, and voted to authorize the chair to meet with the superintendent about possible contract amendments and return with proposed language.
The Rockport School Committee on April 15 adopted its summative evaluation of Superintendent Mark Bracco and authorized Chair Amy Oakes to meet with him to negotiate possible amendments to his contract.
Oakes read the committee's written assessment, saying the district rated the superintendent exemplary in several areas and proficient in others. "You are ethical, dedicated, hardworking, creative, kind, a good drummer, compassionate," Oakes said in praising the superintendent's leadership. Committee members then moved and seconded a motion to accept the evaluation; the chair called the question and the committee approved it by voice vote.
After adopting the evaluation the committee voted to empower the chair to discuss potential contract language with the superintendent and return to the full committee with a draft. The chair said the forthcoming conversation would not decide whether the superintendent remains employed; it is limited to negotiating tweaks to the existing contract for the coming year.
Members who spoke during the public portion of the evaluation lauded the superintendent's work in district operations, community engagement and leadership in regional superintendent consortiums. The committee recorded no dissent during the public comments and accepted the chair's compilation of member feedback as the committee's final rating.
The committee did not set immediate deadlines for the work product from the chair; Oakes said she would circulate a proposal to members after meeting with the superintendent and return with a final version for committee review.
