Board gives super report By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times The superintendent was present for the evaluation.
Hatcher also said he believes the superintendent sets the morale for the school district and feels Dick has a good working relationship with district personnel. “They all feel comfortable to come and talk with you and seek your advice and leadership. If you don’t have someone at the top who is on board with what’s in the best interest with our district and our children and our school, it is hard for those under (you) to serve. I’m thankful for your leadership in that regard,” he said. Overall, Hatcher said the board is pleased with Dick’s performance as superintendent. Dick thanked them for the positive evaluation. “One of the things I think we’ve accomplished is that we have cohesiveness from the board — my building level leaders and my central office staff,” he said. “One of the things that I can see really, really quick in this job is that it’s all about relationships. If you can maintain an honest and open relationship with those with whom you work, those who are over you as well as those you are under you and ... those who surround you, then you are going to have a ship that sails fairly smoothly.” Board member Janey Stotts said everybody seems to be happy under Dick’s leadership. “Years ago, Wayne remembers, there were teachers, administrators, office staff, board members that just were not happy,” she said. “There was always some kind of conflict going on, but it seems now it’s working better than it was. I think that’s the thing I noticed. It just seems like everybody is in a good mood, and they used to not be. And that means a lot to me.” Dick pointed out that not everything the district tries works, but “there’s nothing we can’t undo if we see it’s not going to go the right way.” “I think the fact we have become very, very competitive and brought ourselves to the top of the list in (teacher) salaries has helped immensely, because now we are getting a much larger field to choose from so we can look for the best,” Dick said. Board member Sheldon Ballou told Dick he appreciated his fiscal responsibility. “So many schools now, I read in the paper, are having to get rid of teachers,” he said, but Caverna, unlike many school districts statewide has retained teachers and has managed to give them a pay increase above the state recommendation. “Without that responsibility there that wouldn’t be happening.” Dick thanked the school board for giving him the chance to serve as superintendent. The school board did not discuss Dick’s contract. He is ending his fifth year as superintendent and his contract does not expire until 2012. As for his salary, Hatcher said Dick will receive a 2 percent pay increase, which is the same that all district personnel received. With the 2 percent pay increase, Dick’s salary for the 2009-10 school year will be $107,188.
