The Newton Municipal School Board didn’t divulge its evaluation of Superintendent Nola Bryant following a 30-minute executive session Thursday night.
The board went into an executive session with only school board members. The session didn’t include Bryant or board attorney Brian Mayo, who are usually included during most executive sessions.
After emerging from the closed session, board president Lavera Chapman told Bryant that they couldn’t give her evaluation at this time.
“It is incomplete, and we cannot discuss it until it is finalized,” Chapman said.
Mississippi Departmentt of Education requires all school boards submit an annual evaluation of their superintendent, which takes the form of a survey. Usually, this is a formality and does not require lengthy private discussion.
This was the third executive session that the school board held during its two-and-half-hour meeting. The other two items, according to the agenda, were regarding personnel.
