Monday, November 19, 2007

YOUNGSTOWN — The city school board has given Dr. Wendy Webb a new three-year contract that won’t take effect until Aug. 1, 2008.

Jamael Tito Brown, chairman of the board’s personnel committee, said the board finished its evaluation of the superintendent and handed her the results this evening at the school board meeting.

The board then added a resolution to the meeting agenda calling for the new contract for Webb. It passed 5-0 with members Shelley Murray and Dominic Modarelli absent. Brown, Michael Write, Jacqueline Taylor, Lock P. Beachum Sr. and Kathryn Hawks Haney voted for the contract.

Brown said the overall rating given the superintendent by the board was “commendable,” adding that the board is pleased with her performance.

Webb will continue to be paid $122,500 a year, her current salary, for the life of the new contract.
