According to their agenda, link, the APS Board of Education and Supt Winston Brooks had intended to adjourn into a meeting in secret from stakeholders, Friday morning, to discuss; "... the Superintendent’s Progress for the District, and take action".
The meeting has been cancelled, link, without explanation.
Good that it has been cancelled, of course, that it is cancelled without explanation.
The Open Meetings Act requires "reasonable specificity" when describing what it is that they intend to discuss in secret from the people whose power and resources are being discussed.
The Act requires "reasonable specificity" when describing what they actually discussed during the in secret meeting.
"Discussion of the Superintendent's Progress for the District" is not as specific as it might be; it is not as specific as it should be.
Brooks' "progress for the district" is either adequate or inadequate. The people will never know which, because the evaluations are done in secret. A recent audit by the Council of the Great City Schools found;
Administrative evaluations are subjective and unrelated to promotion or step placement.If Brooks' "progress for district" was adequate;
there would be no reason to hide it.
