Superintendent Releases Evaluation Audits

During the 90-Day plan, Dr. Cheryl Atkinson procured the services of several consultants in the areas of Human Resources, Strategic Management & Accountability, School Leadership & Operations, and Curriculum & Instruction in order to evaluate specific division functions, processes, and services.

The information provided by each consultant's evaluation of division functions will be used to make operational changes to improve organizational efficacy. A summary report is provided from each evaluation where applicable.

If a summary report is not provided, the vendor provided an implementation service under the Excellence for Education Plan (i.e. Aligned Management System, Balanced Scorecard, and Job Reclassifications/Position Specifications).

The Superintendent and administration has thoroughly reviewed each audit report for consideration of all and/or parts of any recommendations made by the consultants.
