Superintendent Carsten's contract renewal and annual raise.
Stop Superintendent Carsten's contract renewal requesting a three-year extension and annual 3% pay raise.
Why is this important?
The contract requests a 2% guaranteed annual raise and an additional 1% raise contingent on his annual review rating of highly effective. The Board repeatedly has found him highly effective, but it is unclear how his effectiveness is determined in any measurable fact other than the Board's opinion. Our District needs to consider the limited resources to provide for such raises to administrative positions and the best interest of our children from ineffective leadership. The Board continues to find him highly effective, but my experience has been less than favorable.
