Closed-session item 3D — second unplanned superintendent performance review in 10 weeks

The February 26, 2026 special governance meeting closed-session agenda included item 3D — a superintendent performance review. It was the second performance-review item placed before the board in approximately ten weeks, following the December 11, 2025 review at the board's organizational meeting. Seven public-comment cards from the open-session record reference the personnel item. The pattern of repeated unplanned performance reviews became a recurring point of contention in the months that preceded the May 12, 2026 mutual separation agreement with Glass.
