II. Internal Business - Part Two
A.
Establish Policy for Adjusting ED Compensation
Review of What Happened Last Year
A $15,000 adjustment was made to the ED compensation
Karen asked for an additional increase based on her work hours and estimated market rate.
After deliberation, an additional increase was made.
Last year the evaluation was largely narrative and Karen's self-evaluation was narrative vs. using specific criteria- a thoughtful but arduous approach.
Going Forward
A more formulaic process is recommended to get to a thoughtful, consistent, year-over-year approach
This yera what's being proposed is compensation based on
- Performance as a base
- Cost of living adjustment (researched, regionally-based, consistent with what the teaches are getting)
- Merit (Hi, Medium, Low)
Comps are 'tricky' for charter schools as it isn't public information
For the Merit piece, it should be based on improvement against personal and organizational goals, but the board should not be compelled in the presence of a glaring deficiency
Timing: Complete the evaluation closer to the end of the fiscal year- as close as possible to the start of of the next fiscal year
We're starting earlier and will use the Board on Track tool, which is more of a survey driven approach. There is space for an open-ended response and a mechanism to add GGA- customized questions.
Bylaws specify that the ED evaluation be done by the Executive Committee, which includes the leadership and the committee chairs.
This overall approach was approved.
