Sarvis Responds to Special Education Concerns and Pulls Contract Extension

Back from my trip to see far-flung de la Guerras, I saw that in a prepared statement -- School Superintendent Brian Sarvis has responded to several board meetings of parent concerns over special education. You can read his statement over at Edhat. Noozhawk also reports that he has pulled a request for a contract extension that was made just six months into a three year contract.

Apparently, outgoing board member Laura Malakoff had placed the item on the agenda and he didn't know about it. Right. You would think he would review the agendas before they are made and posted. Further, I am sure a lot of people would love to get a contract extension two and a half years out...what about the performance review process? If I were a board member, I wouldn't extend a contract so early and would require a couple of annual reviews before a decision is made as one isn't entitled to keep an executive position like this so far in advance. Show us results!
