School Board Renews Superintendent’s Contract After Evaluation
The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees has renewed Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes’ contract for an additional three years starting July 1, 2018. Following this motion, which passed unanimously 4-0 (Trustee Garrison left the meeting before the vote), Chairman Bennion read the following joint statement:
“The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees in its entirety has completed a thorough evaluation of Dr. Holmes’ performance over the past year. The Board of Trustees is pleased to offer Superintendent Holmes a new three year contract effective July 1, 2018 extending through June 30, 2021. We are grateful that Dr. Holmes is willing to begin her new contract at the same salary in recognition of the district’s current financial situation. Under Dr. Holmes’ leadership the district has improved graduation rates, balanced revenues and expenditures, and is addressing the achievement gap relentlessly. We look forward to the next three years under Dr. Holmes’ leadership in positioning Blaine County School District toward becoming the highest performing district in the state of Idaho.”
