Board extends superintendent's contract for one year after high evaluation

The Lake County School Board voted unanimously on May 11 to extend the superintendent's contract for one year after airing the results of her annual evaluation.

Board member Mr. Cole summarized the evaluation, saying the superintendent scored 370 out of a possible 375 points on the first portion of the review and earned a perfect-average score of 2 on the second portion. The board then approved the consent agenda, which included the one-year extension, by voice vote, 4-0.

During the superintendent's remarks after the vote, Superintendent Kornegay thanked the board for the extension and said, "This will be my last contract extension." She also praised recent testing trends and said she looked forward to sharing test results as they arrived.

The contract extension was processed as part of the consent agenda; no separate discussion or amendment was recorded. The transcript does not specify the new contract's effective date or other financial or term details beyond the one-year extension. The board did not record dissenting votes during the consent motion.

With the extension approved, the superintendent and district will proceed into summer operations and begin next-year planning; no additional procedural steps or public hearings about the contract were noted at the meeting.
