2026-09-29 Board Committee Meeting

Hartland Schools Board Committee meeting, September 30, 2026 (the meeting title lists September 29), organized the committee and reviewed its work on the superintendent evaluation process. Mr. Scott was selected as chair; the committee also discussed selecting a secretary. Consultant Rod Green of the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) compared evaluation tools, including the MASB tool and alternatives, and explained that districts must use a state-approved tool or obtain approval for modifications. The committee did not select a tool; it plans to obtain copies of available tools for comparison and aims to bring a recommendation to the board for discussion in November and possible action in December, before the new evaluation cycle begins January 1.

The committee also discussed evaluation timing, goals for an incoming or interim superintendent, and student-growth metrics, including how to use state data and district measures. Members plan to invite the district’s assistant superintendent to provide information about current student-growth measures and coordinate follow-up meetings. No contract award, purchasing decision, budget allocation, or other procurement activity was identified; the discussion of tools and training concerned evaluation options, not a purchase.
