March 31, 2026 School Board Work Session

The BLS Schoolboard held a work session on March 31, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and discussing the superintendent evaluation policy and procedures. The board examined the current evaluation system, including the alignment of evaluation forms with executive limitations and organizational goals, and debated the inclusion of a more robust, multi-faceted evaluation process such as a 360-degree review. Discussions also covered the timing and cadence of evaluations, the clarity and consistency of goals and benchmarks (particularly related to student academic performance), and the need for clearer timelines and processes in the superintendent's contract. While no specific procurement decisions were made, the board expressed interest in exploring the cost and implementation details of third-party 360 evaluations and improving data reporting systems to better monitor academic outcomes and operational goals.
