The compilation results demonstrate that the Superintendent has met the Extension Standard established in Article 9, Section 9.4 of the Employment Agreement.

Article 9, Sections 9.4 and 9.7 provide that the term of the Superintendent’s Employment Agreement shall be extended for one (1) year (through July 31, 2011) upon The School Board’s receipt of the compilation of evaluation ratings if the Superintendent achieves the Extension Standard.  Therefore, the Superintendent’s Employment Agreement is extended through July 31, 2011 and all other provisions of the Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect.
