Superintendent, Treasurer Exceed Expectations Says 2011 BOE

The 2011 handed out good grades to the district superintendent and treasurer in its annual evaluation. 

Both Superintendent Russ Jones and Treasurer/CFO Catherine Bulgrin were rated on:

• Communications/Community Relations
• Leadership Skills
• Decision Making Skills
• Board/Administration/Superintendent Relations
• Operations, Support Services and Facilities
• Personnel Management
• Budget and Finance
• Educational Programs
• Political Awareness

The board said Jones "exceeded" all of the above goals except for Operations, Support Services and Facilities and Personnel Management — which was marked as "met."

The 2011 board said Bulgrin "exceeded" all of the goals except for Operations, Support Services and Facilities — which was also marked as "met."

"I am so pleased with the evaluation outcome as we were faced with many challenges due to the district's need for the passage of the new levy," said Bulgrin. "A prevalent challenge has been and remains in the areas of Operations, Support Services and Facilities due to the reduction in staffing and the district's past financial constraints."

But, Bulgrin said she plans to continue to focus on that category. 

"Our mode of operating has been to address items to the extent that funds are available. As we continue our pursuit to achieve educational excellence, our resident student academics are the main priorities, along with the operations, support services and facilities," she said.
