A recurring question at recent Grundy County, Tenn., school board meetings has been why the director of schools has not been evaluated in the two years she’s been in office.
At the most recent school board meeting, former school board member Mike Yates was the latest to ask the question.
He asked board members how many times Director Jessie Kinsey is supposed to be evaluated per year and how many times she actually has been evaluated. Their response was once and none.
“We tried to get it set up; she hasn’t been evaluated a first time that I know of,” school board member Reuben Newsome said.
“It is tabled to be discussed at the February board meeting,” clarified Chairwoman Phyllis Lusk. “There is some, shall we say, confusion what the state law says, what the board policy says and what her contract says, are three different things.”
