Hamilton County school board members rated Superintendent Justin Robertson positively in his first evaluation since taking the helm of the district almost two years ago.
The evaluation was grouped into seven categories, including strategic planning, student achievement, staff and personnel relationships, school leadership, post-secondary opportunities, business and finance, and board relationship.
The scores from board member Marco Perez, an independent from Signal Mountain, averaged for the highest rating — a 4.82 out of 5.
Board member Joe Wingate, R- Chattanooga, thanked Robertson on Thursday night for his leadership. Wingate’s scores averaged to a 4.29.
“Whether I always agree with the metrics the state uses to judge the effectiveness of school systems and administrations is beside the point,” Wingate said. “In the rules that we were asked to play by, you guys solved some jobs. So as not just a school board member but as a parent, I greatly appreciate it.”
