The Juneau School Board overall is happy with the superintendent\u2019s performance. That\u2019s what the body determined after meeting in executive session for three hours during a special meeting Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Board President Brian Holst said an official evaluation of school superintendent Mark Miller will be made public during a regular meeting Aug. 9.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn general, we\u2019re pleased with him,\u201d Holst said on the phone Thursday morning. \u201cAny more details beyond that, we\u2019ll produce a summary for the public for that meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller was hired in 2014 on a three-year contract and an annual salary of $162,000. Last year, the school board extended it for one year, so he\u2019s currently on contract through 2018.<\/p>\n
Holst said the board has the option to keep the contract length the same or extend it further. He and board vice-president Andi Story will meet with Miller before the Aug. 9 meeting to discuss various elements of his contract, salary potentially being one them. Any changes to Miller\u2019s contract may require the board to meet in executive session again.<\/p>\n
No one from the public showed up for the special meeting Wednesday night. The board began the closed-door session with Miller, Holst said. After Miller left, the board discussed the evaluation and any feedback it got from the community.<\/p>\n
Less than 10 people took the superintendent evaluation survey that was made available on the school district website and only four completed it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe kind of scratched our heads,\u201d Holst said. \u201cWe did agree to revisit the whole process, especially that piece because we got so little public input. Maybe that\u2019s good \u2014 people aren\u2019t worried about him, or maybe nobody knew that it was an option. Who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n
The school board\u2019s next regular meeting is Tuesday, Aug. 9. The superintendent\u2019s evaluation will summarize Miller\u2019s strengths, areas for improvement, other observations and goals for next year.<\/p>\n
