This is just a quick post in response to questions I’ve gotten about the process for superintendent evaluation, contract extension, and pay.
The superintendent evaluation process is a personnel process that legally has to happen in closed session if the superintendent so requests (which, quite reasonably, he has). [Correction: The law permits, but does not require, the board to conduct the evaluation in closed session, but only if the superintendent so requests.] It leads to an evaluation that the superintendent receives which is designed to identify both strengths and areas for improvement. The evaluation is not a public document. The board has had several closed session meetings as part of that annual process.
The contract extension process is a separate process. The previous board approved a three-year contract for our superintendent in July 2015. Ordinarily, when there are less than two years remaining in the contract, the board considers extending it back out to three years. The board can discuss that issue in an exempt (non-public) session, but any vote to extend the contract would have to occur in a public board meeting. The board has an exempt session for “superintendent contract” scheduled for this Tuesday.
As part of the contract approval process, the board must also determine the superintendent’s salary. That decision is separate from the salary approvals for other administrators and staff. The board can discuss that issue in an exempt session, though any salary decision would have to be approved at a public board meeting.
The special ed fiasco is reason to end Mr Murley's employment with ICCSD. No further evaluation is needed.

ReplyDeleteAnd I would add his inability to manage the district the last 7 years. Look at how the district has floundered as he has been bullied by a political movement. He let education get swept under the carpet so that a remodel could be done. Shame. Shame. Shame. Gonna leave the district in a mess for years to come.
