Board delays decision on OSBA superintendent-survey pending cost estimate
Summary
The board heard an OSBA presentation on adding a targeted feedback survey to the superintendent evaluation, expressed concern about cost, and voted 4–1 to postpone a decision until OSBA provides a scope of work and estimate.
Janet Avila-Medina of the Oregon School Boards Association presented the OSBA superintendent evaluation option at the Dec. 15 meeting, describing a process that would include a targeted feedback survey and a summary prepared by OSBA for executive session. Janet said the rate for OSBA services is $200 per hour and recommended that the board not distribute surveys without OSBA oversight.
Board members expressed concern about the expense. Janet suggested the recently awarded Rural Schools fund could be used to offset costs and offered to prepare a scope of work and financial estimate. Angel Ashdown moved and Carol Hacherl seconded to postpone a final decision until the January meeting after reviewing OSBA's estimate; the motion passed 4–1 (Bob Brown opposed).
The board noted some discussion could take place at a Jan. 12 work session, but a formal decision must be made at the Jan. 26 regular meeting, per the presentation.
