Discuss and Review the District Administrator's Performance Evaluation
A really good joke here would be....WHAT Performance?
Why do you hold meeting to discuss something that didn't happen?
Sorry, Dr. Culver....we couldn't resist.
But REALLY, people. How about changing the agenda item to discuss Dr. Culver's NON-performance?
We have Jimmy Mac playing it footloose and fancy free. On paper he reports to Lisa Heipp, but apparently he's allowed to run to Dr. Culver. Can't you jut hear it?
"Dr. Culver.....Ms. Heipp won't let me do thing my way!"Dr. Culver even put in a new requirement that all Jimmy Mac's reports had to be reviewed and approved by the Management Team. Guess that didn't work because that team approved a horrifically, embarrassingly incomplete--not to mention inaccurate and poorly supported-- request for budget proposals.
If the Board had not stepped in, we could have made another epicly poor decision on par with the hockey fees scandal. We might not have added Lacrosse as a school sponsored sport. Good old loyal-to-Administration-to-a-fault John Whalen even questioned why we would elevate lacrosse to the school sponsored tier when it i not WIAA-sanctioned. Gee JohnE....(as VP Welke so tactfully pointed out) then why is SOSP school sponsored? Cheer?
The athletics calendar is a complete mess. We have teams that legitimately scheduled field use being bumped by teams that use the coaches only double secret probation calendar. Is it really that difficult to schedule field and facility use. Wait....we need to add to that ...when you use only a single public calendar?
Dr. Culver is allowing policy to be violated by not billing coaches who ran athletic camps in oh...FOREVER...according to policy.
There are grave questions about what would we find if anybody chose to dig into booster clubs and how much they REALLY donate to the school. Yet another policy that has been ignored on Dr. Culver's watch.
And Dr. Culver declared himself publicly to be responsible for Title IX compliance when we haven't really looked at it...have we? Oh wait...let's answer the way Admin would if their feet were held to the fire: they look at the aspects of Title IX where we can show we are OK...and turn a blind eye to the ones suspect (know?) we are not.
These are just a few of the things that have been going on. Maybe Dr. Culver should spend a little less time taking Dr. Feelgood pictures of kids in classrooms and more time actually getting a grip on what's going on in the district.
So....school board...will you have a non-discussion with Dr. Culver? Or will you have the conversation that needs to be had. Warning: big boy (and girl) pants required.
