In March 2016 we filed a public information request with the LaCenter School District requesting information about the Superintendent (Mark Mansell). Following are the document we received:
Dr. Mansell’s Contract: LaCenter_Mark Mansell_Superintendent_Contract_2015-2018
Dr. Mansell’s Compensation Breakdown: LaCenter_Super_Mansell_Comp_Breakdown $149,350 base plus other incentives. Other districts provide a spreadsheet which breaks down the details and then rolls it all up to a grand total. By not doing the same LaCenter makes it more difficult for members of the public to easily determine the total compensation package.
Dr. Mansell’s Resume: Resume – Mansell
Dr. Mansell’s Performance Reviews for the last three (3) years: 2016: Mark_Mansell_LaCenter_Super_Jan_2016_Eval 2015: Mansell_Superindentent Evaluation 2015 2014: Mark_Mansell_LaCenter_Supt Eval 2014
Performance Review Comments: These reviews are high level, very basic lacking detail. As a comparison teachers and principals are required to use a State mandated process that is so rigorous it borders on abusive. However, the Superintendent apparently isn’t required to undergo that same rigor. If the T.P.E.P. is appropriate and “the right thing to do” for teachers and principals then why isn’t the same program (or something similar) required for Superintendents?
