School Year 2020-21 CEO Goals Discussion
Candal opened the discussion with directing the attention of the Committee to the proposed CEO Goals for School Year 2020-21. Candal reiterated that these goals are used in partnership with a self-assessment and feedback from Board members and staff to evaluate the Chief Executive Officer, including determining any earned bonus.
After reviewing the proposed goals, which include an overview of past goals of the CEO in School Year 2018-19 and School Year 2019-20, the Committee discussed a means to measure the achievement of these goals. The Committee discussed that in these measures, the COVID-19 pandemic should be taken into account. The Committee also discussed CEO Goal #2 and #3, asking Taylor to further define and add context to those goals for both clarity and measurability.
Taylor then displayed the website used to collect data for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). Taylor shared that historically, all information regarding City on a Hill's achievement and growth would be tracked through the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), results. In the absence of that data in the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Taylor shared that this DESE website portal could be an effective measure to track progress of his goals.
After reviewing the data portal, the Committee discussed that it could be an adequate measure, in addition to other academic information obtained internally at the school level, for tracking growth as it pertains to Taylor's CEO Goals.
Candal proposed that the Committee spend time individually on the public portal in the coming weeks, and plan to vote on the measures to gauge CEO Goal achievement at the Committee's December meeting.
