Public Statement
In Executive Session tonight the Board discussed the Superintendents annual
evaluation; a process required by Board policy and the Boards contract with the
Superintendent.
A majority of the Board concluded the Superintendents performance has been above
average in very difficult circumstances. While a minority of Board members disagreed
with this conclusion, under the terms of the Superintendents contract (a public
document), Dr. Washingtons contract will be extended for one year or until June 30,
2018 and she will receive a 12% contribution to her annuity account.
The Board Chair will issue a more detailed statement concerning the evaluation process
and results tomorrow.
The Board and Superintendent will publically discuss previously agreed upon District
goals for the balance of this school year in January or early February 2015.

Date

Berty Riley, Board Chairperson
