Neil Pedersen
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Superintendent Neil Pedersen has announced that he will retire at the end of the coming school year. Dr. Pedersen has been superintendent since 1992 and has worked in the district since 1987. The school system issued a press release with an overview of changes and accomplishments during his tenure.
It's absolutely stunning for any school district to have a superintendent serve for such an extended period of time. It's probably difficult for our community to conceive of how things might be difference if we had a succession of 5-6 superintendents in the same time period.
This week's CHCCS board meeting (tomorrow, Oct 1) is the last meeting prior to the Superintendent's Evaluation meeting scheduled two weeks later.
What discussion points would you suggest the school board members keep in mind when evaluating the superintendent's performance?
Here is the
Superintendent's Blog reporting on one year gains in reading and math. Remarkable numbers. Must ask how this was achieved and how the process can be repeated to 100%
Sample discussion topics to be used in his evaluation
1. Has the appropriation of local and state funds been fair and equal, for example, why is there not at least a half time SRO at Phoenix Academy even though the state provides funding for this position?
