The Jackson-Madison County Board of Education approved the superintendent evaluation instrument that had been reviewed in the work session and presented in the meeting packet.

A board member moved to accept the instrument; another seconded the motion and the board approved it on a voice vote. The motion’s maker noted the instrument had been approved by the district attorney and by Director of Schools Dr. King during the work session.

Why it matters: adopting an evaluation instrument establishes the criteria and process the board will use to assess the superintendent’s performance.

The board took the vote without extended floor discussion and later adjourned the meeting.
