I mean, even the Superintendent's contract doesn't even have numeric goals, just broad statements about doing things! This kind of stuff needs to start at the top - the Board consistently giving Superintendents fluffy contracts sets the tone:

Like, even Larry Gavin said that contract is unusual and the goals part is barely even compliant with the state rules regarding Superintendent contracts. If we can't even set numerable expectations for a Superintendent, how can we expect them to set it for staff?
And if you look at budget spending over the last 5 years, it's clear that nobody was looking at any budgets or had any idea how much money was being spent or by whom. It sure looks, from the outside, like a total free for all.
Do you recall if this is consistent with Horton's contract? Or did they reduce the quantifiable goals in part because they realized it's a bad look for them to hand an extension to someone who's not even hitting the goals they laid out?

His was pretty fluffy too, but there were at least some actual quantifiable things:

Her expectations are basically just hand waving
But then they gave him a pass on the quantifiable things, right? No point in having them if you're not going to stick to them!
Yeah they renewed his contract and I am not sure to what degree they evaluated performance
One of the reasons given for Dr. Goren being let go was “failure to meet academic benchmarks”.
Oh how far we’ve fallen.
