CEO Evaluation. Highlights from evaluation shows in general results are consistent with last year. Integrity, communication, and reliable. Feedback regarding org change going smoothly. Fundraising, enrollment, and persistence around salary parody. Growth areas reflected by Board and Brian were areas we didn’t spend time on or have clarity towards. Teacher pipeline, Sizer Center, proven student outcomes. Gives sense of direction for areas to focus on. Process wise first year with new tools of jotform and survey. Shorter and more relevant questions. Progress with tool and now looking for more progress with evaluation cycle. Option of no rating: not Brian’s job or not enough evidence. Work through ideas on how to approach this in the future. Still hear from some people about why Brian is being rated on some areas where it is not a clear part of his job. Reality is it’s Brian’s job to make sure those things are done and is ultimately responsible for the job of others getting done well. Congratulations on a positive year during a year of change. Brian expressed appreciation of the process and efforts of team. Ellen acknowledged the large amount of change.

Elyse mentioned the SEPAC is looking forward to communicating more with the board. Want to fill their role more effectively. Update next year with SEPAC, special education, and principal.
