Superintendent's Contract Extended

Last night's school board meeting ended with the school board going into executive session to discuss the Superintendent's evaluation. They then called the superintendent into the executive session to discuss his evaluations with him. When they came out of the meeting, the board voted unanimously to extend the superintendent's contract another year, which now gives him 2 1/2 years remaining on the contract. There was no public discussion on the matter, which leads me to conclude that the discussion took place in the executive session. I have sent the following email to each school board member:

"I'm interested in knowing the content of the board's discussion with regards to extending the superintendent's contract for a year. From the agenda, I assumed that the contract discussion would be public, but it appears that the issue was decided in the executive session. Can you explain what went on and why the contract was extended when there was already 1 1/2 years left on the existing contract?"


I anxiously await any reply...
