The Committee also discussed and reaffirmed its timeline for the CEO end of year evaluation. The committee confirmed that, in the coming week, Cara Candal will take the lead on drafting Kevin Taylor's evaluation. Committee members agreed that they will each reflect on Mr. Taylor's performance to prepare for the next committee meeting to discuss the evaluation. This coming week, Kevin Taylor will finalize his self-evaluation to support the Committee's work.
The Committee noted that the lack of MCAS results in the fall will likely present a challenge to evaluating part of Mr. Taylor's bonus potential that is tied to academic outcomes. The Committee noted that it will need to consider this issue further.

Cara Candal shared that, while the contract will include no pay raises, the original intent of the committee was that the contract include a 3% cost of living increase each year of the contract to mirror the anticipated step increase for most City on a Hill employees.
The committee discussed that this approach seemed reasonable. There being no further questions or discussion, the committe moved to a vote.
