Phillips scores 'good' on evaluation


Marshall School Superintendent Joyce Phillips has earned a “Good” overall evaluation from the Marshall School Board, according to a press release issued by Board President Vic Potter and Vice President Paul Beardslee. Phillips garnered “Excellent” ratings in the areas of Business and Finance, and Personal Qualities, they said.

According to Potter the board remains "very pleased" with the job Dr. Phillips is doing with the district’s finances and facilities. “Remember, when Joyce came to Marshall we were in a deficit situation, our teachers were working without a contract and we had no long-term plan for facilities. Today, thanks to Joyce and others, we now have a small rainy-day fund that is slowly growing; we’re saving hundreds of thousands of dollars on building maintenance; we have a plan for improving aged buildings; and our teachers are working under a 2-year contract.”

Prior to her review one year ago Phillips informed the board of her plan to retire from the district at the end of the 2008-2009 school year.
“We respect that Joyce continues to work as hard today as she did when she started here 4 years ago” said Potter.

During her annual performance review on April 14th, the board considered the Superintendent’s performance in the following areas: Relationship with the Board, Community Relationships, Staff and Personnel Relationships, Educational Leadership, Business and Finance, and Personal Qualities. In each category the board may give a score of Excellent – 5; Good – 4; Satisfactory -3; Weak – 2; or Poor – 1. Phillips received no score lower than a 3 and her average score was 4.

Gee why doesn't that surprise me that she has an overall rating of 4. The board has let the staff of MPS and the people of Marshall down yet again.

Are they nuts? Everyone knows that Phillips and Metcalf are the two worst superintendents the MPS has ever had. They were bad three years ago and have gotten worse each year since. Morale is at an all time low. They cannot cover up the truth- www.mpschangeisgood.blogspot.com

She should be fired. About 100 percent of the staff thinks she has done an awful job. Why does the board support her? Maybe we need an investigation.

If she gets a raise I am voting "no" on the bond. A recall may be next.
