FM #7773 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 773 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares the School Committee Superintendent Review meeting held Tuesday, April 12, 2022.
There is only one item on the agenda: Superintendent’s Evaluation Process Discussion
Elise Stokes, chair of the subcommittee provided an overview of the process. There was a discussion on timing and focus to clarify points in the process.
The school committee members will get a form to fill out to be compiled and reviewed at a meeting in May and then bring the review forward targeted for the June 14 school committee meeting.
The meeting opened at 6:06 PM and ran approx. 16 minutes. Note the audio quality improves a few minutes into the recording as I move the device to the front of the speaker table in the Council Chambers.
