Agenda Item Summary: The Division Superintendent would like to inform the Board of professional activities related to Section VIII of the Superintendent’s contract. The Superintendent will continue serving as a mentor with The School Superintendents Association (AASA) during the 2021-22 academic year and serve as a lecturer/facilitator for the Urban Superintendents Academy, Howard University and the University of Southern California. These events will take place on evenings or weekends; therefore, leave is not necessary. The Superintendent is also co-authoring a book with Georgetown Professor, Dr. Douglas Reed, and planning to have the book published in 2022. In addition, the Superintendent will serve on the Class Strategic Advisory Board and The Source for Learning Board that meet quarterly and are both a collaborative of thought leaders committed to improving education for learners of all ages.
Background: As stipulated in the Superintendent’s Contract, Section VIII Other Work Activities: “The Board may approve activities of the Division Superintendent to include consultative works, speaking engagements, writing, lecturing, teaching, or other professional activities for compensation provided that such activities do not cause a conflict of interest, and that they are undertaken during annual or personal leave, or at other times which, in the opinion of the Board, do not reduce the availability of the Division Superintendent for fulfilling his full-time responsibilities hereunder. Pursuant to Section 22.1-66 of the Code of Virginia, the office of Superintendent shall be deemed vacant upon the Superintendent engaging in any other business or employment without such prior approval by the Board.”
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve the additional activity provided in this memo.
